Sue here,

You're probably right to say there will be no multiple redemptions, 
but I'm holding out for Malfoy - that's a loose end that needs 
tying. I suspect you're right about Pettigrew and frankly, I'm not 
sure there's much of him to redeem anyway. I see it as more of a 
Grima Wormtongue ending, where he's had one bit of abuse too many 
and takes Voldy by surprise. I think JKR will keep her 
redemptions/loose-end-tying for the major characters.
