Alla:

I agree with you in a sense that Peter is much much better off dead 
(to warn you I am speaking as someone who does not believe in agent 
Peter, but only in trator and Voldemort spy Peter), I also think 
that Remus and Sirius should have go ahead and killed him and 
produced his body to Dumbledore and Ministry.

I have very little doubt that Harry would have forgiven them later 
on. After all his justification for getting Peter to the minsitry 
was that he does not want his father's best friends to become 
killers, not that he (Harry) had warm and fuzzy feelings for him.
I think it also shows how much both Remus and Sirius love Harry - 
that they were able to put aside perfectly justifiable feelings of 
revenge over their traitorous friend because Harry said so.

But I am also hesitant to call what Harry did a biggest mistake of 
his life. He did what was right. Thirteen year old does not know 
that Ministry is corrupt and expects justice. I see nothing worng 
with that.
