Highlight the text below to read:
Dumbledore was correct about Wormtail. Peter Pettigrew owed Harry and repaid his debt in Book 7. I was not at all emotional over his death, or all that surprised about it, but it happened in the most unexpected way. The hand that Voldemort gave him stranged him to death after Wormtail showed mercy on Harry. Was this due to the betrayal that Wormtail showed Voldemort? Did Voldemort predict Wormtail’s disloyalty and give him a hand that would do this purposefully? How did the hand know?

I think he did; I think Voldemort knew (and I think this as well) that it was Wormtail’s nature to betray, to side with whomever he would be safest with. I think he knew Harry wouldn’t harm him. And yet he ended up helping Harry. That was unexpected.
