The significance of Wormtail?

After taking a couple of days to digest, and to peek at what others have to  
offer on the book, I have started my first re-read.  One thing I am struck  by 
... why is Wormtail in the scene at Spinners End?  We know Herself does  
nothing casually or extraneously ... so what is gained by having Peter  there?  
Why him?  What plot task does he have that relates to the  Unbreakable Vow or 
some other part of that scene?
 
**Rhianyn settles on the comfortable armchair by the fire and curls  her 
fluffy tail about her just so.**
