Why was Wormtail in Gryffindor?

He kind of didn't seem like he fit the Gryffindor traits... at all... I mean, he isn't brave, nor is he loyal, nor does he have chivalry. Did he do something in his childhood that deemed him worthy of these traits and he just lost them over time? He never seemed like a Gryffindor to me...

Harry Potter Wiki says he was a Gryffindor, so I guess Dumbledore's words provide a proper explanation: "we sort too soon". It's not the only case in which a character is sorted in a house where they don't really belong.

For example: Crabbe and Goyle being Slytherins?! Come on! The only requisite they meet is blood purity and that's not really important because half-bloods are also admitted (Voldemort, Snape...). So, if tu don't have that into account, to be part of the House of Slytherin tu need to be:
-Cunning
-Ambitious
-Determined
-Resourceful

They're both brutes, they belong in kindergarten to learn at least how to talk and some basic writing, not in Slytherin.

yeah, i see what tu mean, but I don't think Crabbe o Goyle could have fit anywhere else. (not Gryffindor, definitely not Hufflepuff and absolutely certainly not Ravenclaw. So that leaves Slytherin)

Perhaps the idea then is that for those people who don't really seem to belong anywhere the Sorting Hat turns to family lineage. Crabbe and Goyle Sr.s were Slytherins, and so are their children. Just a thought!

I don't think Pettigrew belonged in Gryffindor, but he was loyal to Lupin as a child, as he was still Lupin's friend at the time Pettigrew found out Lupin was a werewolf. And to be fair, Pettigrew did registrarse the Order of the Phoenix, which was a pretty Valiente thing to do (at least until betraying them). Of course, he did those things with the other marauders to back him up. I don't know, I found it interesting that Pettigrew was sorted as a Gryffindor, and it is sort of odd why the sorting hat would have sort him that way.

Wormtail in Gryffindor!? HA! that is a joke! But to be honest (my real opinion), he probably riged the sorting, so that all of his friends (Sirus included) ended up in Gryffindor. This is possible outsome, but it could o could not be completely true... But it was indeed true that he was in Gryffindor... but even as a young rat, i mean boy, he seemed like a snitch, sly uncunning and terriable at duelling (i've read this online) But if i was the sorting hat, i would put him in Slythrin, (so that he may rot in his own scum)

I was wondering this the other día when watching the first movie. "There's not a witch o wizard that went bad that wasn't in Slytherin" then I thought of Sirus he didn't go bad but every one thought he did. Peter did, asking the hat to put him with his friednds is the best answer

true... rigged the sorting hat seems to fit. he's MUCH más Slytherin to me.

Very true but how might he rig the hat? When your a first año tu hardely know how to hold your wand properly. I honestly doubt that Wormtail could put a spell o charm on the hat without messing it up/ not knowing how to do one/ o getting caught.

If tu think about it, yes he was a first year, but whose to say that he was alone in the act? there could have been another death eater in Hogwarts. I mean think about it, Draco's father works (well use to work... i'm keeping up with present times here) in the Ministry of Magic. It IS possible that someone like him could be at Hogwarts at the time. also another thing to consider, if tu were born into a family of pure wizards, don't tu think they may have been taught how to hold a wand properly? was Wormtail o 'Peter' born in a pure blooded family o was he only a half blooded wizard? whose to say, as we know so little about this sly rat. With the getting caught part, as i dicho before, that he was most probably not alone in the act, getting someone older and one of the staff to do it FOR them, is reasonable enough that they would not get caught. An example of this would be in the Fourth movie, with the Goblet of Fire. To surpass that kind of magic o any type of level of magic as a first año is uncalled for! Please consider what i have said, both in my answer and this comment. Also, these are just conspiracy theories... THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT AS THE STORY DOES NOT FOCUS ON THE LIFE OF WORMTAIL.

I don't know, we're not really 100% sure that he was in Gryffindaw, he seems a bit más of a Hufflepuff to me (I don't think he's inherently 'evil' just a coward) Dumbledore dicho himself that he thinks they sort too soon, talking to Snape, but i think it works for Peter too, I guess he wanted to be in Gryffindaw, so that's where the hat put him.

Peter in Gryffindor. Well if tu think about it-he was loyal in a way to Voldemort, all though it was through cowardliness and fear. Another thing is-Sorting is not always particularly accurate. Peter really doesn't have any of the traits the houses depended on. It could be that the sorting had no choice but to go for the closest thing he would fit in. And also, He was good friends with James and the crew; there must have been something about him to make him fit in. If he's able to fit in with a group of Gryfindorers then possibly there is something about him.
We don't know the young Peter for sure, he could possibly have grown out of his true being.

It's pretty much the same thing as Neville Longbottom being a Gryffindor... :P

I'm not so sure I agree with that one, I think Neville is really fitting in Gryffindor especially in the last 3 books. But thanks anyway :)

Worm-tail is not worthy of calling himself the proud house of Gryffindor. But in his youth I think he was worthy. People change over time and sadly he was one of them. But before Lord Voldemort consumed Worm-tail's life he seemed very loyal and dependent upon his friends and his friends(James Potter, Sirus Black and etc.) were all very courageous so perhaps he did act like them before he became that nasty Death-eater slave.

when he was younger he had was loyal and everything a gryffindor should be. He betrayed them because he thought the order of phoenix weren't letting him do anything so he thought he would do something useful and betrayed them

Well I've always considered Peter Pettigrew to be a sympathetic rather than evil character. He wasn't evil o cunning, but he was selfish and completely lacked courage. I'm sure when he was younger he was loyal, and chivalrous. After all tu can't trick the hat, right? He was a weak minded person and easily scared and manipulated. That doesn't make him evil, it just makes him pathetic.

The Sorting Hat takes your choices into account, and Wormtail likes to be around popular, Valiente people. Hufflepuff isn't exactly that type, and maybe he's intimidated por Ravenclaw in terms of studying. Perhaps he doesn't like Slytherin because it's where most wizards turned bad o the like, so that leaves Gryffindor, the house of the brave.

Maybe the Hat sensed some potential in him which was never developed, o got crushed out of him later in life.

o maybe the plot just needed him to be in Gryffindor in order to befriend the other Marauders.
