Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black /Re: Snape, loyaltie and the fine thread

 I think Order could have arranged a little kidnapping from
Spinner'sEnd, if they wanted to, no? I am not so sure that Snape
 informed DD about that little development, but plot wise yes,
 I am sure JKR has a part for Peter to play at the end.

Potioncat:
I was responding to the comment that Snape is responsible for Sirius'
death because if Snape had turned Pettigrew in, Serius would be
cleared. My interpretation is that DD, for some reason, does not want
Peter turned in. I take it that you think Snape knew where Peter was,
but did not tell DD?


Marianne S. Dumbledore says in POA (p.417 US) "Petigrew owes his 
life to you. You havce sent Voldemort a deputy who is in your debt.... 
When one wizard saves another wizard's life, it creates a certain bond 
between them... and I'm much mistaken if Voldemort wants his servant 
in the debt of Harry Potter" then later on the same page "But trust me...
 the time may come when you will be very glad you saved Petigrew's life." 

So, I think there something will come of having this life debt to 
repay in book 7, and I don't think this means a redeemed Peter, just
a Peter that has no choice but to repay the debt. I have a feeling that
Dumbledore knows exactly where Peter is, and is glad to have Snape 
keep aneye on him, just as Voldemort is glad to have Wormtail keep
an eye on Snape.

Another vote for last minute lessons.

Which suddenly reminds me of one of the books saying that Flitwick
let the kids play, but McGonagall and Snape kept on teaching to the
last minute of term. I've forgotten which book it was in.


Marianne S: I vote for last minute lessons as well, and it was before
the Christmas break in GoF where Flitwick let the kids play but Snape
and McGonagall didn't, if I remember correctly.
