Peter Pettigrew was attracted to power, he didn't have
much confidence on his own, which is why he attached
himself to James and Sirius at school. Pettigrew  and
Lupin were accepted by James and Sirius despite their
faults and the four of them were inseparable. James,
Sirius and Peter became Animaguses illegally so that
they could hang out with Remus each time he would
transformed into a werewolf. They became the
Marauders. When school was over and PP saw Voldemort
as the ultimate power, he kept his friendship with
James, Sirius and Remus but secretly became a death
eater. When Lord Voldemort told him to betray James
and Lily, he knew he'd be killed if he didn't, so he
betrayed them to save himself. He was very much like
his animagus, a rat.
