SSSusan:
I was quite interested in Jo's response as well, even though it 
wasn't the question I most wanted answered.  When she wrote this --

"In other words, a secret... is enchanted so that it is protected by 
a single Keeper (in our example, Peter Pettigrew, a.k.a. Wormtail)."

-- it made me think of Pippin's theory that there is more than one 
Wormtail, specifically that the second is Lupin.  

[ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/message/146764 provides 
a nice summary of ESE!Lupin and Pippin's suggestion that Lupin 
adopted the name Wormtail.]

So, Pippin, I'm curious... does Jo's rather direct spelling-out 
of "Peter Pettigrew, a.k.a. Wormtail" here (where I'd argue it didn't 
really need to be so spelled out) do damage to your theory that there 
are two Wormtails?  Or does it matter not? :-)
