He so desperately needed someone to believe that he'd tripped but could get back up again,
He finally gets Luke, who loves unconditionally and forgives without reason, and thus is a better man than almost anyone in the series.
The wizards of the Potterverse believe that once a wizard turns Dark, nothing and no one matters to them any more.
The Potterverse is disturbing. The Wizarding World is deeply unscrupulous and hypocritical, and you know that a person who decries 'Dark' magic feels no compunction about messing with his Muggle neighbors, as long as they can get away with it.
At least the Jedi tended to be as hard on themselves as they were on everyone else.
He needed redemption, and that's a different thing altogether. I think Peter needs it as well.
What's the line from Buffy? Something about 'forgiveness is never deserved. It's given, or it's not.'
Forgiveness is grace, and both Anakin and Peter need it. I don't know if Peter will get it though.
