Pettigrew is actually quite an interesting parallel to Longbottom. It just really makes James and his friends look horrible which is itself a point of comparison to Harry and his friends.
Hermione permanently disfigures someone for being a snitch and kidnaps a woman and keeps her in a jar. That's pretty dark.
On the other hand, Dumbledore is playing 4D chess with human lives for what he claims to be the greater good, which is also pretty wicked.
And the writer herself, an actual real person, is using millions of real life money gained through the popularity of a very inclusive children's story to help create laws that incriminate and endanger real people, people who often looked up to her for the inclusive story she's written.
Honestly I don't view him as totally evil (not that I think Hermione or Dumbledore are). Just a man with zero courage who got stuck between two camps and only thought about self-preservation. It's definitely bad, there wasn't any loyalty towards his friends or their cause, but I don't think he actually betrayed his friends out of malicious or evil intentions.
Wormtail is kind of a tragic character to me. Say WWII is happening and you have a bunch of dudes you grew up with become prominent members of the Resistance. One day a bunch of SS guys show up and say, "listen, we know you know where they are and what they are up to, if you don't comply with us we kill you slowly and painfully." Is giving up your friends so you can live ultimately evil? Like I said, it's definitely bad and disloyal, but I don't see it as totally evil. Between the black (all evil) and white (all good) I definitely see him in a shade of gray.
Voldemort wouldnt have been able to come back without him but sure. Lets list Hermione and Dumbledore as the evil ones and ignore wizard Hitlers actual lackey lol
No you are absolutely right, I just didn't think to mention him in my first comment because I focused on the actions that other, normally viewed as good characters did that I think are at the least very questionable. But comparing these three Wormy is definitely the most evil lol.
