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.
JKR doesn't seem to prize intelligence, as a quality. I mean, look at Harry... *ducks from the multitude of Harry fans angrily converging* But there are some 'alternative' ways of viewing Peter's choices which are fairly interesting (and plausible?...) http://www.livejournal.com/users/pauraque/118331.html http://www.skyehawke.com/archive/story.php?no=1882
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.:-)
Heh, my experience of the Musketeers stretches only to the Leonardo DiCaprio film, and the cartoon in which they were all dogs (and there was Dogtanian, which made me and my sister laugh like the little nerds we are ;) Aramis was the priest who was playing both sides, though, yeah? ;)
