It surprises me--or maybe I'm just missing it--that there wasn't a surge of Peter fans after we saw the Marauders being jerks. Sure JKR painted Peter as being a suck up, but come on, he's the one guy who actually sticks it the Marauders in a major way. And he did it by using their own arrogance against them--how great is that? I'd be surprised if he doesn't do the same thing with Voldemort actually, and sometimes I wonder if the idea of a really smart villain doesn't really float JKR's boat--like the idea of Peter being resentful of Voldemort the way he was of MWPP won't come up. It's like Gollum, who is sullen and resentful and only cares about himself.
I mean, my favorite Musketeer? Aramis, hands down. The one who lives--not because he's the best fighter but because he's the smart one who keeps his cards close to his chest and is flexible.:-)
