Indeed, it was in remembering his life debt that Pettigrew hesitated to kill Harry during the Skirmish at Malfoy Manor, in 1998, which resulted in Pettigrew being strangled to death by his own silver hand.
However, Harry reminded Pettigrew of saving his life four years ago, and Pettigrew released Harry in an unintended and momentary show of mercy. After Pettigrew tried unsuccessfully to undo that moment of weakness, the hand recognised Pettigrew as unfaithful to the Dark Lord and began strangling him.
Peter was motivated to change sides when Voldemort seemed to be the clear winner of the war, but he was winning because of the information Peter supplied as a double agent. If he never changed sides, it's possible the Dark Lord would have lost much earlier than he did.

Why did Peter betray Potters?
Peter Pettigrew's betrayal of the Potters and allegiance to Voldemort was a result of his unhealthy admiration for James and desire for power. Sirius Black was believed to be the Potters' Secret Keeper, but he secretly switched with Peter Pettigrew, who turned out to be a mole.
Though he valued his own life more than the lives of his friends, Pettigrew felt guilt for betraying Lily and James, but didn't have the courage to admit his treachery or to turn against Voldemort.
Peter Pettigrew, the Secret Keeper for the Potter family who betrayed them to Voldemort. Sirius Black was originally meant to be the secret keeper for James and Lily Potter, but Sirius thought Voldemort was on to him (he thought that Remus Lupin was a spy), therefore passing on the Secret Keeper to Peter Pettigrew.
Remus fought at the Battle of Hogwarts on 2 May 1998, during which his wife was murdered by Bellatrix Lestrange. Remus was also murdered by Death Eater Antonin Dolohov, during the first half of the same battle. His death was possibly avenged by Filius Flitwick.

According to the films, Hedwig's killer might have been Selwyn, who was known to be pursuing Harry and Hagrid at the time since Hedwig's death in the film happened quite a while into the fight when there was only a couple death eaters following them, or it might have been Stanley Shunpike under the Imperius Curse.
In the EXCELLENT James Potter book series, by G. Norman Lippert, Tonks had already given birth to a boy before being killed in the Battle of Hogwarts. (The James Potter in the Lippert series is Harry Potter's son).
Sirius's early life proved unhappy; he had come to hate most of his relatives, in particular his mother. He rejected his family's pure-blood elitism and reverence for the Dark Arts.
For using the Unforgivable Cruciatus Curse to torture the Longbottoms until they went insane, Bellatrix and her three associates were sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban. At her trial, Bellatrix proudly and defiantly proclaimed that Voldemort would rise again.
Dumbledore's lack of belief that Sirius is innocent is also suspect. Sirius was a member of the Order of the Phoenix which fought against Death Eaters, but Sirius also was as close to James as a brother, the Potters even took him in when he ran away from home.
There are hundreds of students in Hogwarts, plus ghosts, teachers, House Elves, and Peeves.

The Malfoys are related to the Black family through Narcissa (a first cousin of Sirius Black, Harry's godfather), which makes Draco a nephew of both Bellatrix Lestrange and Andromeda Tonks.
'I persuaded Lily and James to change to Peter at the last moment, persuaded them to use him as Secret-Keeper instead of me ... I'm to blame, I know it ...' It wasn't Sirius who betrayed the Potters to Voldemort, but he did persuade them to make Pettigrew their Secret-Keeper.
