I find canon Peter difficult to understand. He's obviously bright because he managed to do the animagus transformation at such a young age (even if he got help, and there's no evidence for that, that's impressive). He can think on his feet - the way he reacts to Sirius' big attack is twisted genius. Then you see him in the Pensieve scene and he's embarrassing. I treat him as being a brilliant theorist but not so good at the practical side of things whereas James and Sirius do things instinctively but are shaky on why they work. He's definitely got McGonagall wrapped around his little finger as well (which is another reason I make him the best liar of them all). It really bugs me when he appears as a squeeing fanboy. The others stay friends with him for years and the Potters trust him. There's got to be a reason for that.
