Well, true courage is not about brave deeds, but about overcoming
fear. A very fearful person may very well be much braver than the
average super hero, who after all does mostly stuff that is for him
not really dangerous. 

Peter choose the winning side, and was a spy for them. Still a
dangerous position, though not a sympathetic one. Probably almost as
dangerous as Snape's was, who did exactly the opposite. Peter
discovered that Voldy wanted more of him than just a change of sides.
It seems Voldy likes to break people, especially his own, and Peter
surely seems broken to me.
