Well, I don't think that Peter is entirely heartless, even if he is evil. But I seriously doubt that he would have sacrificed the Spark to save Cora unless he thought that he could somehow benefit from the act. He smirks way too much in the scenes where he talks Derek into doing it. Plus, just killing Jennifer was a more likely means of breaking the spell on Cora. Encouraging Derek to hang around at her bedside was suspiciously counterproductive considering the more direct (i.e. murderous) approach Peter has taken to problems in the past.
