Peter later framed Sirius for the crime by pretending to confront him, then cutting off his own finger before taking his rat Animagus form; he killed twelve Muggles in the process, and landed Sirius in Azkaban for twelve years. Sirius had convinced James to use Pettigrew as Secret-Keeper in what he believed to be a brilliant gambit. This was proven to be a fatal mistake that Sirius would regret for the rest of his life. When Sirius learned the truth, he became obsessed with avenging the deaths of his friends.
Remus, unaware of the truth until twelve years later, thought Peter died in a heroic confrontation with Sirius. When Peter's treachery was revealed to James' son, Harry Potter , both Sirius and Remus showed no mercy nor sympathy for Peter's lack of courage if anything, both were disgusted by him , and were absolutely intent on killing Peter, and were only stopped by Harry's insistence that Pettigrew was not worth their becoming murderers.
As Remus had forgotten to take his Wolfsbane Potion in the wake of discovering Pettigrew's continued existence, he transformed under the full moon and was completely uncontrollable. Peter was able to escape, but for his freedom he owed Harry a life debt that would later cost him his own life. Peter's escape led Sirius to remain a wanted fugitive for another two years, and only Harry, Ron , Hermione , Dumbledore, Remus and, later, members of the second Order of the Phoenix knew of his innocence for those two final years.
Severus Snape , whom he used to bully, and who bullied him in return. Pettigrew, who probably would not have fared well duelling with a wizard as skilled and powerful as Snape, only got away with doing so because he had more talented friends backing him up. Or perhaps his intense dislike of Pettigrew was due to the former betraying Lily , the woman he loved, to Voldemort.
It is possible that Snape regarded Pettigrew as being too negligible of a person to be worthy of hating, as he showed very little care for Pettigrew during their time in Spinner's End , aside from maintaining a sense of superiority over Pettigrew in every chance possible and making him even remotely useful around the house. When the Dark Lord later assigned Pettigrew to work as his assistant, Snape took to treating him like a slave, forcing him to clean his house and serve food to his guests, while refusing to let him in on their meetings.
Pettigrew, though very dissatisfied with Snape's abuse, found little courage to argue or request the Dark Lord for reassignment, and seemingly had to obey out of fear of Snape, as he flinched as though Snape threw something at him when ordered to serve Bellatrix and Narcissa wine, all the while could not look at Snape eye-to-eye when protesting.
Severus did not condone Peter's habit of eavesdropping, and even slamming the door in his face to get him to stay away from listening any further. With the feeble protests Pettigrew made proved his ineptitude and cowardice, Snape openly and contemptuously mocked him for it, showed his "assistant" no respect whatsoever, and regarded the treacherous coward as a negligible vermin. As with the rest of the Death Eaters and Order of the Phoenix alike, Snape would address Pettigrew as "Wormtail" instead of his real name during their later years of life.
Lily Evans , former friend whom he betrayed. Peter first met Lily Evans during the Sorting ceremony at Hogwarts, during which they were both Sorted into Gryffindor. Peter regularly took part in bullying her then-best friend Severus Snape , and as such, he did not make any better an impression on her than James or Sirius did.
After Lily ended her friendship with Snape, she eventually married James Potter. She seemed to be much closer to James' circle of friends by that time, especially when they all joined the Order of the Phoenix.
She even affectionately referred to Peter as " Wormy ," from his nickname "Wormtail," and noted that he "seemed down" on the week before Harry Potter's first birthday , as she tells in a letter to Sirius Black. She would not have known that it was because he was enlisted in the Death Eaters and playing spy.
Peter, out of fear of his own life, and what Sirius described as " finest moment of [his] miserable life ", betrayed Lily's location to Voldemort without a moment of hesitation. Harry Potter , to whom he owed a life debt. Harry Potter initially believed Peter Pettigrew had been courageous for challenging the alleged traitor, Sirius Black , despite appearing so comparatively timid and weak; Harry even compared him to his own friend Neville Longbottom.
As Scabbers, Harry felt that Hermione should at least feel responsible when Crookshanks allegedly ate him, when in truth Peter faked his death a second time. Though he was disgusted by Pettigrew's disloyalty and cowardice when he learned the truth, he could not stand to see his father's two best friends become murderers, and requested that they leave Pettigrew to face the Dementors instead.
Pettigrew managed to escape, leaving Harry unable to prove his godfather, Sirius Black 's innocence. However, because of Harry's intervention to save Pettigrew, the latter owed Harry a life debt. Harry, on the other hand, felt regretful for sparing Pettigrew's life and did not want such a bond. Originally Peter spared no thought on betraying Harry and his family to Voldemort, and even prepared to turn Harry in the moment he catches wind of the Death Eaters regaining momentum as a welcome-back present.
However, perhaps due to this debt, Pettigrew consciously felt gratitude towards the boy, as he suggested that Voldemort should use another wizard's blood for the rebirth ceremony , and hastily implying that Harry meant nothing to him when Voldemort raised the issue, an act that seems to be denial rather than honesty. Of course, Voldemort also saw this as an attempt for Wormtail to desert him once more, out of sheer regret of ever returning.
A year later, Pettigrew met Harry again in the Little Hangleton graveyard , where Pettigrew bound Harry to Tom Riddle Snr 's grave and then cut Harry's arm to use his blood in a potion that would restore Voldemort to his former glory. Throughout this meeting, Wormtail struck Harry for struggling, but did not make eye contact when returning Harry his wand , per Voldemort's orders.
Pettigrew's life debt was finally repaid during the Skirmish at Malfoy Manor , when his momentary hesitation to strangle Harry was interpreted as a sign of weakness by the silver hand he received from Voldemort, and it turned on him.
Though both Harry and Ron Weasley attempted to stop it, Peter Pettigrew was strangled to death by his own hand. Ronald Weasley , his former owner and enemy. After framing Sirius Black for the crimes of betraying James and Lily Potter and murdering twelve Muggles, Pettigrew went into hiding in his Animagus form, and disguised himself as a rat named Scabbers.
He came into the possession of Percy Weasley , who eventually handed him down to his younger brother Ron. Thus, Petrigrew had been in the Weasley family for twelve years, which was in Sirius' perspective a " curiously long life for a common garden rat. However, Hermione's cat immediately recognised the rat for who he was and constantly attempted to catch him; this misunderstanding furthered Ron's protective nature over Scabbers. When Scabbers faked his own death by leaving bloodstains on the sheets, Ron assumed that he was eaten by the cat.
Ron and Hermione got into such a row over the incident that they almost ended their friendship. Ron later discovered him in Rubeus Hagrid's cabin and was overjoyed, though Scabbers continued to attempt to flee, struggling against Ron's efforts to pocket him and even biting him on the finger, much to Ron's confusion and irritation.
When Sirius finally managed to corner the rat, Ron absolutely refused to believe what Sirius and Remus Lupin were telling him until he saw with his own eyes that Scabbers was the traitorous Peter Pettigrew.
Ron took this as a personal insult and was too disgusted to respond to Pettigrew's pleas, and even savagely volunteered to act as an anchor alongside Lupin to prevent Pettigrew from escaping. Four years later, when Pettigrew was being strangled by his own silver hand , Ron tried to save him with a Revulsion Jinx , and failed.
When Pettigrew died, Ron was somewhat shocked, but was more preoccupied by Hermione being tortured by Bellatrix Lestrange. Hermione Granger , his enemy.
Hermione Granger first met Pettigrew in disguise as Ron's pet rat named "Scabbers" in In , she and Ron nearly ended their relationship, as Ron was convinced that Crookshanks , her cat, had eaten Scabbers. Peter was afraid of Sirius and Remus, and knew that they wanted to kill him in order to avenge James and Lily. Pettigrew appealed in turn to Hermione, who was horrified and shocked by the entire discovery.
Hermione was being tortured by Bellatrix Lestrange , while Pettigrew was sent to check on the prisoners downstairs. Pettigrew attempted to strangle Harry, but momentarily slackened his grip when Harry reminded him of his life debt, and was killed for it by the silver hand made for him by Voldemort.
Hermione learned about his death after the battle. Though he gave valuable information, such as the whereabouts of Lily, James, [5] and Harry Potter and was granted the Dark Mark that only the inner circle had, Voldemort still showed little respect for Pettigrew's cowardice and disloyalty. When Voldemort met his first downfall, Pettigrew did not try to find his master, but instead hid in his Animagus form as Ronald Weasley 's pet rat, "Scabbers". Pettigrew turned his back on Voldemort for being too much of a wreck to protect him, and did not attempt to murder Harry Potter due to that.
He only intended to return if Voldemort would regain his strength, in which Pettigrew would present Harry as a "welcome back present" in order to make it appear that he never betrayed the Dark Lord.
When Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban and Pettigrew's duplicity was uncovered, he had no choice but to flee and seek Voldemort's protection from Black. Though he regretted this decision, and attempted several times to escape, while flinching and shuddering at any contact with Voldemort's rudimentary body, he ultimately engineered Voldemort's return to physical form, and Voldemort rewarded Pettigrew with a new silver hand for having sacrificed his own.
Voldemort also forced Garrick Ollivander to create a new wand for Pettigrew, a favour which the once highly revered Lucius Malfoy did not even receive after his wand was destroyed. Voldemort neither trusted nor respected Pettigrew.
He knew that Pettigrew felt no true allegiance to him and kept him only because he was sometimes useful often times without Pettigrew being the wiser , [20] or having him assigned to menial tasks.
A Death Eater , a member of his nominal allies. The Death Eaters held Pettigrew in contempt because it was based on his information that Voldemort met his first downfall at Godric's Hollow. The ones who were imprisoned at Azkaban screamed in their sleep that Pettigrew was a traitor, and according to Sirius Black , if any of the Death Eaters who had evaded imprisonment had gotten wind that Pettigrew was still alive, they would have tried to kill him.
It was for this reason, as much as his fear of retribution from the Order of the Phoenix when Black revealed that Pettigrew had been the Potters' Secret Keeper, that he disguised himself as "Scabbers" for twelve years after framing Black for his crimes. To prevent them from killing him when he would return to Voldemort, Pettigrew had originally planned to bring in Harry Potter to them as a welcome back present to his lord, in order to prevent anyone from saying that he betrayed Lord Voldemort.
When Pettigrew returned to the service of the Dark Lord, he was assigned to serve his colleagues, such as Severus Snape and the Malfoy family , as a lowly household servant. Both treated him with disdain, much as Voldemort himself did, and insultingly referred to him as "Wormtail.
Pettigrew appeared to respect the Death Eater Bellatrix Lestrange and her sister Narcissa Malfoy , as he seemed very happy to see them at Snape's house in , although he might simply have been attempting to flatter them or win their sympathy. Their feelings toward Peter are unknown, though Bellatrix may have at least appreciated his role in reviving their master, or otherwise resented him for taking so long to do so. Regardless, the sisters took Snape's suggestion of neglecting Pettigrew and went on with their confidential meeting.

Breakfast food is life and coffee is what makes the world go round. It was great. But as said before, Voldermort must have knew Voldemort's first words after he creates the silver hand for Wormtail in 'the Goblet of Fire' are: "May your loyalty never waver again, Wormtail". This is foreshadowing the death of Wormtail in a very clever way.
It signifies that Voldemort knew that Wormtail's loyalty would faulter again and so gave him, what was essentially, a ticking time-bomb for a hand that would kill him the moment he disobeyed his master, or otherwise obeyed someone else's command instead of his.
In 'the Deathly Hallows', Harry, on the point of suffocation managed to gasp at Wormtail: "You're going to kill me? Dissapointment only comes when u read the book b4 u watch the movie. It was'nt me lol ;. LadyNottingham said: I'd like to think that Nagini ate him, while he was under his Animagus form, as a snack - snakes are known to love eating mice and rats.
Unless that Severus managed to dispose of him in a discreet fashion, to exact revenge on him for Lily's death. Of course, as we all know how he died in the books. In any cases, whether in the book or in my imagination as stated above, that was a well deserved death.
I had thought it was Wormtail's voice that said to Voldemort "No sign of him, Master", when Voldemort was waiting for Harry to show up. But looks like not. It might be where Voldemort arrives at Malfoy Manor after Dobby escapes with the rest of the group, and is mad at wormtail for letting the group escape, that he then kills him before he tells Nagini that Harry already knows about his horcruxes.
