colebiancardi:  Oh, I have NO doubt that LV is punishing the both of 
them - but also working them against each other.  Voldemort would try 
to get them at each other's necks, IMHO.  So, is Snape=Sirius & 
Peter=Kreacher?  LOL!!  I have this image of Peter wearing nothing 
but a dirty loincloth - it is pretty scary, horrific & sick.

colebiancardi:  No.  Peter is a Coward with a Capital C.  But I do 
believe his life-debt to Harry will force him to side with Harry at a 
critical moment.

colebiancardi: You know, I didn't even re-read to make sure Snape 
never called Bellatrix Bella.  I guess I have read that chapter SO 
many times now, it is engrained in my memory.  I think Snape only 
calls men by their last names - occasionally, he will call men by 
their first names.  I believe all the women(not students or 
professors) he calls by their first names.
