IIRC in the Ressurection scene in GoF LV says something to the
effect that Wormtail was able to do magic that returned him
to/created a temporary, rudimentary body, ie: the scaly baby thing.
So maybe Wormtail isn't as inept with a wand as we think.
Meri - shuddering just to think about how this is going to look in
the upcoming medium who shall not be named...shudder...


Leah:

This is from GOF: "..poor wizard though he is, Wormtail was able to 
follow the instructions I gave him, which would return me to a 
rudimentary weak body of my own....a spell or two of my own 
invention..a little help from my dear Nagini...a potion concocted 
from unicorn blood and the snake venom Nagini provided...I was soon 
returned to an almost human form and strong enough to travel".

What isn't clear to me is whether all the hubble-bubble ingredients 
listed by VM were used by Wormtail in creating the rudimentary body 
or whether they were used for strengthening and refining that body.  
It's also not clear whether the help provided by dear Nagini was 
limited to the venom, or whether there was something additional.  It 
may be Nagini's input which gives VM his snake like appearance, but 
the reactions of the DE circle suggest this is nothing new. 

Clearly, Nagini played a role in VM's makeshift reincarnation.  I 
wonder what role she has played before in his quest for immortality. 
VM obviously had Nagini with him in Albania, (unless we are to assume 
that Wormtail somehow acquired her). As Vapourmort he does not appear 
to have had the power to summon her or otherwise bring her to him, so 
was she already there?  Was she the reason Vapourmort fled to Albania 
rather than, say, the Amazon rainforest? Have the DEs seen Nagini 
before- they don't seem too surprised to have a large serpent 
circling around them?  But, if she was there, why didn't VM possess 
her?  And Nagini seems to be the one being for whom VM has anything 
approaching affection ("my dear Nagini"). I would think she had 
perhaps had another form as a love of Tom Riddle's if JKR had not 
said that was impossible.

Leah (who wonders whether Albania and Albus are just coincidental 
similarities or if there is something there)
