I kinda used this to partlyb ack up my assumption that Peter wasn't relaly up for intentional face to face killing.
It would have been more logical, I think, to kill Sirius, but honestly I don't think Peter had the guts. He couldn't kill Sirius personally, but at the same time, I think he ran away after framing him not just to hide from the DE's but because he honestly did not think it would work.
*hsurgs* no proof to that other than it took a heck of a lot of idiocy on the Ministry's aprt to put Sirius away, and I can't imagien Peter counting on that.
So I don't know,I talways looked very intentional, to me, that he did not Kill Sirius,b ecause I mean, man, 12 other people got it, so it's almost like he didn't even AIm.
Though that could also be the poor dueling skills kicking in. Maybe he meant to make it look like he killed Sirius because Sirius had betrayed James and Lily, but he missed.
And killed 12 other people. And dind't want to hang around to take on Sirius without the element of surprise.
The finger then, would be to make it look like Sirius had hurt him (Peter) and that it was a fair-ish duel or who knows. Maybe the finger happened after he and became part of an emergancy esacape plan. I doubt Siirus would know for sure whether Peter blow thing up first or cut off his finger first. ^^
