Peter Pettigrew was always a step behind his peers. Even his within his circle of friends he was always the last to catch on, never quite cool enough to really belong, and definitely at the bottom of the pecking order. No matter how much he tried, he could never be the best at anything and after leaving school, it became very apparent just how much he was the odd one out, even among his pals. They all went off in their own individual directions and found great success in all of their pursuits. Peter, having barely completed his studies at Hogwarts, was insanely jealous. Although he cared deeply for his friends, he wished that just for once he could be the one that got everything he wanted. He thirsted for a way to be the alpha of the group to be the one with all the power.

This made it very easy for Voldemort to enlist Peter into his service. It was easy for him to use Peter's shame at not being as adept as his peers and his frustration over being cast aside so often to his advantage. The allure of power, of firmly belonging among the Death Eaters, and being what amounted to essentially a General in the Dark Lord's army, was so appealing to Peter that he was much more likely to give up his friends in pursuit of greatness. And once he agreed, it was too late. He succumbed to the Dark Arts rather quickly - all that stuff about power corrupting, allusions in classic literature and film about how engaging in dark practices turns your soul dark - and the Peter his friends knew was gone, only to be replaced by a shell of a man who, although still socially awkward and lacking somewhat in the areas of skill, wanted nothing more than to serve his new master and ensure the security of his place as high in the pecking order as possible.
