Why Peter Pettigrew Was The Most Dangerous Marauder

[@monarchist1838]

Interesting how Hermione’s cat Crookshanks recognised Scabbers was evil and cooperated with Sirius Black sensing the good in him.

[@klaudiagrob]

Not really because the truth would never be found out. If it weren't for Remus transforming there would be a chance that Remus and Sirius would have done everything to control Peter's magic. As a result, he wouldn't be able to transform. So it's very easy to say ' if only Crookshanks had eaten Scabbers when he had the chance'

[@juliie007]

Peter Pettigrew aka Worm tail made me realize that no truer words were ever spoken by Dante in the Divine Comedy when he stated that the deepest and innermost circle of hell is reserved for those who commit betrayal. The damage caused and many lives ruined by Wormtail’s betrayal time and time again in the HP series just goes to prove that Dante was probably right about the treachery of betrayers.

[@ixelaakiko8784]

[@benjaminabrams2339]

I hate when people compare him to Neville Longbottom because they’re complete opposites.

[@theinvisiblewoman6783]

I think people compare them because of the duality in so many of the characters. Neville and Peter were meek, fearful and underestimated. But while Peter just wanted to be protected by who he thought was the strongest person in the room while never really giving himself the credit he could just defend himself. Neville does the exact opposite. He’s always a sweetheart and when Bellatrix escapes he doesn’t look for protection. He gets confidence and proves how incredible he could be. Neville deserves soo much more love.

Well I would say cowardness can be a danger to yourself and to others as Peter definitely demonstrated, not to mention the fact that he killed 12 innocent muggles while trying to frame his former friend even after all the things Sirus & James did the snake while they were in Hogwarts that one crime that Peter did along with betraying his friends outweighs it all because he was afraid of Voldemort he went on his side because he felt it was The winning side and of course he murdered and innocent 17 -year-old boy

[@klaudiagrob]

I think he's manipulative and well calculated. That makes him even more dangerous. He did manage to frame Sirius. I am not excusing him. I hate him more for that. He's pretending to be weaker. Well judging by the book he knew exactly what Sirius and Remus were talking about during confrontation in the third book.

[@ianh7525]

[@Mr.PepeSilvia]

Dean has a great way of peeling back the layers of underdogs,anti heroes, and villains. Much appreciated 👍

[@christianmarshal6117]

He wasn’t absorbing enough information. In the books Sirius expressed disbelief he could spend so much time with a werewolf and not get all the questions right.

[@Kubinda12345]

I think you forgot his perhaps most impressive feat; he spied on the Order for a year meaning that he managed to deceive not only the Marauders but also the likes of Moody or Dumbledore for an entire year. Anyway I've a private theory that Peter not only artificially created a discord between Remus and the rest of his friends making it seem as if Remus was the spy but that he also manipulated Sirius into convincing James and Lily to cast a new Fidelius with Peter being the keeper.

[@lindalaufer2949]

Actually, Remus was the type to be friendly to the underdogs, so he became friends with Peter and therefore with the other marauders

[@adhishb7958]

I agree but still why did voldemort keep saying that he was a mediocre and not skilled wizard as when he captured Bertha jokins voldemort said that he showed skill that he would not hv expected of him

[@ianh7525]

That's because several of his contemporaries and associates were naturally more talented both academically and with magic and sometimes Wormtail was receiving instructions on what to do when to do it. But he was no incompetent fool,nonetheless.

[@imperiussylvan9571]

[@moonlupin509]

I wonder why did Peter Pettigrew never want to hurt Remus Lupin?

[@matthewbowen6426]

I'd like to think it was something to do with Lupin being a werewolf.

[@theinvisiblewoman6783]

Just my own personal insight here. But James and Sirius were arrogant bullies most of the time they were kids. They also would turn that on Peter calling him stupid occasionally. To them it was humor and poking fun at a friend with no malice behind it. However Peter wouldn’t have taken it that way. Remus on the other-hand was always quite humble. I’m willing to bet he never teased Peter the same way he never bullied Snape. Remus would also be quite the wizard as far as magical skill goes. I think Peter respected Remus more.

[@moonlupin509]

@@theinvisiblewoman6783 that dose make sense though Peter could of turned on him at anytime

[@theinvisiblewoman6783]

J.K.R. has said herself, that, The whole HP story is Not a happy one just one with a happy(ier) ending. I say happier as I was happy good prevailed by so heart broken by the amount of lost. It mirrors both great World Wars & humankind as a whole. Its a story that has been told over and over again just in a new way, in a world among yet separate from ours & it reached generations in a way "the older" works weren't. Please don't get me wrong the classics are that for a reason & I said back in the 90s that I thought the HP books would become classics too. I just wish that we as a whole would learn from our past & our "stories" & be better because of it & not continuing the perpetual motion we seem to be on.

[@klaudiagrob]

@@faultibot Sympathy for Greyback? Wow how is that possible. He deserves no sympathy. He had lost his humanity and was extremely evil. He fully embraced his identity. Of course it is unfair that the Ministry tightened regulations on werewolves. But nothing absolutely nothing justifies Greyback. So regulations are not the reason to eat people. Not at all. He lost his humanity. He was as cruel as Bellatrix, Voldemort and other feared death eaters. We can feel sorry for some characters but some deserve no sympathy.

He did not truly feel remorse for his actions, as that is not why the silver hand choked him.
