I came up with this idea before I realised, due to a post on another forum, that Pettigrew has been impersonating Dumbledore all year. This would be a redeemed Peter, naturally.

Also, observe his words when drinking the potion:

"It's all my fault, my fault," he sobbed. "Please make it stop, I know I did wrong, oh please make it stop and I'll never, never again..."

"Don't hurt them, don't hurt them, please, it's my fault, hurt me
instead..."

These seem very much like things Peter would say...

I'm still trying to reconcile the theories, mind, and figure out if
there are any showstoppers. And I'm not sure how likely either is...

When I read the words Dumbledore said while drinking the potion it
struck me that they could be the words of a truly remorseful Snape.  I'm not too keen on the impersonation theories, I believe the words might come from too much messing around with other's memories in pensieves or occulmancy perhaps.
