Oh my, I *do* get irritated when I am reminded of this one. It's 
such a niggling itch that won't go away.
How the hell was snivelling cowardly Peter Pettigrew *ever* a 
Gryffindor? The numero uno prereq for a Gryff student is bravery, so 
whatever did the sorting hat see in Peter that could be called brave?

There has to be something? 
Perhaps the sorting hat offered him Slytherin by virtue of his 
propensity to do what it takes to be on the winning team. But he was 
afraid of Slytherin and asked the hat not to put him there. But then 
still again WHY Gryffindor? the sorting hat might have seen 
something deep deep deep deep deeeeeeep inside him, maybe that we 
just can't see?

Gosh I just loathe this question, it makes no sense whatsoever. (not 
meaning to offend with my ranting, sorry Julie and Koinonia and 
eggplant)
