bboyminn:

Here is the problem I have with any and all 'Silver Hand' theories.
The hand is surely silver colored, but there is nothing in the books
that would make us think that Peter's hand is made out of the metal
Silver. 

I suspect Peter could use his silver-colored hand in some way to
defend Harry, perhaps by defeating a DE who was threatening Harry, but
that would be due to the strength of the hand, and not to our
assumption of its composition.

Just a thought, and time for bed.
