Especially because if Peter was snooping around at the Potter's no one would think twice about it. Remember he fooled the whole wizarding world with that whole bereaved friend act, so were he looking through the rubble it wouldn't be seem strange. Particularly if he pretended to be looking for any survivors. |
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. But then I though about something else. Peter is not the most loyal of DEs. And he must have been scared out of his wits. He'd just betrayed his friends to Voldemort, who he (more than likely, I think) thought was...gone, at least for a while. Would he pick it up because he thought he might get rewarded later? That seems the only logical reason that Peter would do something like that to me.
Also, where would he have hidden it while he was being Scabbers? He must have gone to some kind of pet shop or something before he went to the Weasleys, unless they just found him. Where would he have kept it all this time? Might he have hidden it?
Another thing--according to Hagrid, Sirius was there after the death of the Potters. If he had noticed Peter, I'm sure he wouldn't have let him go without a fight. But maybe Hagrid and Sirius got there after Peter...?
