In retrospect it's clear to me that both Lupin and Sirius were 
thinking far more clearly than Harry was. Yes, Dumbledore said the 
day may come when he was very glad he saved Peter's life, but Book 5 
has shown us that Dumbledore can be wrong, disastrously wrong. And 
even if Peter does aid Harry in the final battle with the Dark Lord, 
if he had just let them kill Peter in book 3 there would be no need 
for a final battle at all and Cedric and Sirius and no doubt many 
more would not be dead. Remember, JKR has repeatedly told us this is 
a WAR, this is not a tea party, and sometimes in war very good 
people have to do very unpleasant things, like kill other good 
people, people who deserve death far less than Peter did. The 
Ministry was corrupt and incompetent, Harry should have known he 
could not expect justice from those fools and let Sirius and Lupin 
get on with it.

No, I think the biggest mistake Harry ever made in his life was in 
book 3.
