Andie:
After reading this canon, I have to agree with Ginny that LV's supporters had to know Peter was passing info to LV.  Maybe he 
wasn't a true DE with the black mark and all but unless every DE 
didn't know every other DE (so when caught no one could rat on all) 
they had to know each other.

Instead of being a DE, could Wormtail have been a "servant" to LV &
the DE's?  At the end of GOF, I see him as being less then a DE.  He does the job, cuts off his hand & casts the spell for LV to return but I feel that he does not meet the "qualifications" of Malfoy and the others.  And then in HBP, he lives at Snape's and is ordered around and treated as a servant.

Just a thought.
