In this episode I explain why Peter Pettigrew was in Gryphindor. Enjoy!
Summary: Peter Pettigrew was one of the lesser valued Death Eaters in Voldemort's army. Although he did bring Voldemort back to life, he wasn't as celebrated as he would have liked. He is a Gryphindor, and a Death Eater. How does that work? Was he even supposed to be in Gryphindor at all? Let's discuss. The sorting hat might have seen so little in him, it could have just put him in the house that could let him blend in and go unnoticed. That is a promising possibility, but I don't think that is the case. Hidden talent.... What was that? Hidden talent... Oh. I'm gonna stop you right there. So the only other option is maybe Pettigrew does belong in Gryphindor. Look at the facts. He was a loyal friend and genuinely liked most of his peers. Later in life when he turned Lily and James in, he was upset with himself. Yes, he decided to follow Voldemort in the end, but that was only because Voldemort was powerful. And, in the cellar at Malfoy Manor, his silver hand choked Harry. But when Harry tells Pettigrew he owes Harry his life, Pettigrew's hand lets go and goes for its master. Maybe that was the part of Pettigrew that was still sad and angry with himself for doing what he did.
