At the end of book three, Dumbledore tells Harry that not only was it honourable for him to save Pettigrew's life, but that someday he will likely be thankful that he did it.
Did I miss this in books 4, 5, and 6? Or is it going to play a role in book 7?

EDIT:
Someone asked where Dumbledore said this -- unfortunately, I only have the French translation here -- but on p. 453 D'dore says something like this:
"Pettigrew owes you his life. You have sent Voldemort someone who has a debt toward you." ....... "And I would be very surprised if Voldemort really wanted a servant who had a debt toward Harry Potter." ...... "It's a very deep type of magic, Harry. But believe me ... one day may come when you will be very happy to have saved the life of Pettigrew."
Sorry, I translated that back from French. Anyway, it's in the last conversation they have, right after Harry says goodbye to Lupin.

EDIT:
Oh, forgot to add, Harry did indeed save Pettigrew's life, right when Lupin and Black were about to kill him in the Shrieking Shack. Remember? :)
