but as great as it is for Voldie's characterization to show him prancing around expositing while his minion is bleeding out, it strains believability.
I think that's why gehayi and I latched onto the notion that Peter might have some medical training/knowledge. It provided an explanation as to how he could keep himself alive during that time (and, for me, it gave him an area of usefulness in the MWPP group). Because yeah druable might explain why he was alive, but he was only showing signs of pain not shock or bloodloss.
Then again, I think it's so commone to see wounds handled in an unrealistic manner that I can hardly hold this against JKR. It seems many writers (especially of screen scripts!) don't know how quickly one dies from that kinda thing.
I think his original reasoning is what it appears to be: he is vulnerable now, and bringing Voldemort back to power is the only way he can feel protected. Oh I agree that's part of it. He needs and wants protection certainly. His kinda created a personality for himself that will get him that, at least on some level =P
