Pippin:
I don't think it matters. If anything, it emphasizes that "Wormtail" is
an alias. There are probably listies who've kept better track of ESE!
Lupin theories than I have, but I don't *think* I've ever speculated that
Peter also known as Wormtail wasn't the one and only Secret Keeper, 
as JKR confirms. But was Peter the one and only Wormtail? There are
two many characters with names in common for me to be certain of
it
