Peter is so wonderful in this chapter. Honestly, how do you make it work that Peter is supposed to be so "cowardly" according to everyone, and yet when it comes down to it he's go this iron will. I love the detail that he's not dithering at all here, just as I'll bet he didn't dither before blowing up those Muggles. Yet I'll bet he often seemed completely weak (as we keep being told) and vacillitating most of the time, which is why no one could imagine him being efficient. And damn is he efficient.
I guess Peter is efficient. I don't think it's about strength of will though. I think it's about carrying out orders. He's one of those people who need to be told what to do and need to do what they're told efficiently. That's the meaning of life for them.
