Ok, maybe conspicuous.  It shows that LV passed his servant on,
meaning that Snape is valuable enough to LV to have his own servant.

mgm:
You realize that he lost this as a sacrifice to LV at the end of GoF
during the spell that restored LV's body.  LV replaced his hand with
the silvery one.

mgm:
???  maybe DD is right wanded...

mgm:
I just don't see a coincidence here.  I think Wormtail is in a place
to spy on Snape for the Order to redeem himself, or spy on Snape for
LV to gain LV's attention back.  I think Wormtail has learned his
lesson about dealing with LV and is more likely to try to go to the
Order if he could do it undetected.

Doing so would add fuel to the ESE!Snape theory throughout book 7 so
that when it's revealed that he's really good!Snape, it's more of a 
bang.


Somewhere else someone asked why DD would ever wear the destroyed
Horcrux.  I think it was just to interest Sluggy - perhaps even to
say, "look, a destroyed horcrux.  Would you just give me the memory
now?"  More likely he was just showing Slughorn a Slytherin artifact
to break the ice.
