Geoff:
The quote is:
'"Wormtail, I will allow you to perform an essential task for me, one that many of my 
followers would give their right hands to perform..."
"R-really, my Lord? What -?" Wormtail sounded terrified again.
"Ah, Wormtail, you don't want me to spoil the surprise?"'
(GOF "The Riddle House" p.15 UK edition)

As you say, this comment has a sting in its tail....

Geoff:
I think he apportions blame to Voldemort because of the way Cedric died:
'From far away, above his head, he heard a high, cold voice say "Kill the spare."
A swishing noise and a second voice, which screeched the words to the the  night: "Avada 
Kedavra!"

I think Harry considers that Voldemort is truly responsible because he was "manipulating" 
Wormtail.
