Yeah, but technically, if you don't belong anywhere, you go to Hufflepuff. Anyway, how does anyone know about brave or smart or loyal or ambitious things Wormtail did. We know next to nothing about him. But he did become an Animagus to help Remus. I think.........anyway......
Sorting Hat: So, kid, your ambitious and brave, and Slytherin will make you awesome. Speak now or you'll be in whichever one I fell like puttin you in.
Harry: Not Slytherin, Not Slytherin, Not Slytherin, NOT SLYTHERIN!!!!
Hat: Geez kid, calm the heck down! GRIFFINDOR!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hat: Okay, why are you after him? I thought it was alphabetical.
Hermione: Well, I dunno. Cause BLH_Endless feels like it.
Hat: Oh. Anyway, you're smart and brave, so pick.
Mione: .............................
Hat: *Hums Jeopardy music*
Mione: Um.............
Hat: C'mon, pick one. The raven or lion?
Mione: Well, I'd rather be brave then smart. Lion!
Hat: GRYFFINDOR!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hat: Um, greeeeat. Now we go back like what, 20 years?
Peter: Well, take it up with BLH_Endless.
Hat: Grr. Fine. Lets see. Dumb as a post, not so confident, not much loyalty......and you.....I see.....right.....fine then...you find bravery important.....fine.....RA-THER-PU-DOR!!!!!!!!!! I mean, GRYFFINDOR!!!!!
He should have been sorted into Slytherin but maybe he was actualy a little brave when he first came to Hogwarts. For about ten minutes. _________________

i still think that pettigrew was truly a slytherin, whether the hat sorted him in there or not (idk actually)...
look:
- not brave... he's LV's most cowardly servant. jkr says so in Book7, the malfoy manor chapter. he couldnt have been in gryffindor. even if he wanted to be in gryffindor, he had to have some bravery in him, which he had none, being the most cowardly of all.
- not loyal... well, first it was the potters, now its LV...
- he wanted to be powerful, like the popular kids james and sirius... then he met voldie and wanted a share of his power (SLYTHERIN!!)
and its not like the sorting hat "sorts too soon..." dumbledore said that it does... coz look... snape is the bravest death eater, snape is not really a power-hungry man, and he was very loyal to lily up to the end... and even loyal to harry...
and in fact, percy seems more of a slytherin to me...
so anyway, my point is, if pettigrew were in gryffindor, its probably a mistake anyway. _________________

Maybe Wormtail asked to be in Gryffindor, just like Harry asked to not be in Slytherin. And how is Percy more Slytherin than Gryffindor? If anything I think he'd be more Ravenclaw than Slytherin. _________________ Blame it on a simple twist of fate. ~ Bob Dylan "To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal.

Well I think he was different when he was younger... before he got drawn into Voldy and betrayed James and Lily.
He probably was a true Gryffindor... while he was at school anyways. _________________

ginnyx: but you gotta have some bravery in you... what is the point of a sorting hat if you can just choose and the sorting hat will send you there?
hmm.. well percy is really ambitious... makes me think of a slytherin... maybe he is a ravenslyth...
luna: no i dont think so... he befriended james and sirius coz they were cool... so even before his friendship with james, he already had such intentions... which makes him a slythie... _________________

maybe he did have bravery in him, when he was younger. And then he wimped out when he got caught up in the Dark Lord stuff.
Percy was ambitious, but so was Fred and George and even Oliver Wood, he was always wanting to win. There is more to the sorting than just being whatt he "value" is. The Houses aren't all black and white, good or bad. Bravery or cowardice. There are many shades and many levels. Percy may have been ambitious, but all the time he was in the Ministry he was wanting to come home but was afraid of being called a traitor and being tossed into Azkaban. So I think it was very brave of him to have to pretend all those years when all he really wanted to do was come home. _________________ Blame it on a simple twist of fate. ~ Bob Dylan "To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal.

Yeah. And isn't Slytherin some pure-blood freak? How did Voldemort and Snape --both half-bloods-- get into Slytherin?
Okay, Salazar and Godric used to be friends, according to the Sorting Hat. Then Salazar got a little too into power and purity, so he got sent packing. Here's the thing... it wasn't that Salazar didn't like muggles... it was that he didn't trust them, he kinda feared them. With good reason, I mean what, with the burning and drowning and stuff. Godric wanted to find common ground. Salazar's fear overtook him and he became paranoid, creating the Chamber... his fears and untrustiness branched out and now we have a whole group of witches and wizards who hate muggles, partially out of fear. Partially because they think they're better. Voldemort, er Tom Riddle, thought he was better than the average muggle. He wanted to embrace his wizarding side. And that is what Slytherin has been come to known as. But it wasn't how it started.
The Snape thing, well, he was kinda mean to Petunia. And he didn't like the way Petunia talked to Lily. And his father, who was a muggle was kind of a jerk. I think he just liked being a wizard and was proud of that. He might have wanted to denounce his muggle-side, which is enough to make Salazar Slytherin proud, I'm sure. Plus, he might have had mother issues. _________________ Blame it on a simple twist of fate. ~ Bob Dylan "To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice.

Wormtail has joined the Dark Lord after Hogwarts. Actually he is the most hypocrit betrayer of all time. He betrayed Lilly and James and also if you read Order Of The Pheonix he was in the Order. He's really a rat. _________________ Ave Sathanas
Yup, his animagus was very telling. _________________ Blame it on a simple twist of fate. ~ Bob Dylan "To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice. With pie." ~ Anya <3
I don't really know and have wondered that myself, but what I think is the hat was haveing a hard time decideing and Gryffindor was the house Pettigrew wanted to be in. Plus it shows us not all the evil people come from Slytherin and not all the Gryffindor members are really good at heart. _________________

The real reason is that the Sorting Hat picks the house its wearer wants, and Pettigrew wanted to be cool so he choose Gryffindor.
But I think Pettigrew's char analysis is pretty interesting. If you look at the house of Gryffindor, its members aren't kind or fair minded. They're pretty much brash and reckless. So for Wormtail to be the one to resurrect the Dark Lord and betray his friends... that's pretty brave.
And Slytherin's can't be brave? A Slytherin can't be loyal? To me a Slytherin is everything the other houses are, expect they aren't as stupid.
As for Wormtail. I believe he was a true Gryffindor at one point in time. But, you must remember, as people grow up they go through changes. Maybe it took a period of time for Wormtail to show his true colors. And by that time, he was already sorted.
I think the whole sorting hat is flawed anyway. I mean, maybe the hat thought Harry would have been good in Slytherin cause there was a little piece of Voldemort in Harry at the time? _________________
Maybe they figure it took courage to betray his friends and break away from the people who had taken care of him. It is strange though because he just did it to save his own skin as he admits, not a very gryffindor like quality. _________________
wormtail is in slytherine cuz in the 1st movie ron said no wizard in slytherine didnt go bad. and wat did wormtail do...........go bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
U SEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People can change: Wormtail was once in the order of the phoenix, and if Voldemort wants you on his side, well, with his knowledge or curses and words of encouragement, you can't say no; or you'll face death. With Wormtail was immensely afraid of. Question answered? _________________

But that doesn't make him a rightful Gryffindor, that just makes him a follower/joiner. _________________

I still think he once must of been brave at heart, but he changed later on. Still, you never know, there might be a really smart theory behind it. _________________
I have a hair-brained theory on this. I don't know if the Sorting Hat has this kinda precognition but I was thinking that the hat knew that wormtail would betray them. This betrayal was the thing that could lead to LV's eventually downfall. I got the idea of the hat sorting "for its own reasons" when Hermione said that the hat was going to put her in Ravenclaw but decided on Gryffindor in the end. She's super intelligent and not exactly the bravest (although she's leagues ahead of Lavender and Parvati). Basically, the hat knew that the trio needed be together to take down LV and sorted for those reasons. _________________

That doesnt make any sense what so ever. i mean whats the point of a sorting hat then? Whats the point of having different traits and abilities? Just line up the students and ask each one the house they prefer to be in, duh. Saves
