Index of congruence subgroups in $GL_2(mathbb{Z}_p)$ modulo their centers.
Let $Gamma_i$ be the set of matrices in $GL_2(mathbb{Z}_p)$ which are congruent to $1$ modulo $p^i$, that is they are the congruence subgroups. I know that $Gamma_i$ is a pro-$p$ group and $Gamma_i/Gamma_{i+1}$ has cardinality $p^4$.
Is $Gamma_{i}/Z(Gamma_{i})$ again a pro-$p$ group?
Also, I would like to know the index of $Gamma_{i+1}/Z(Gamma_{i+1})$ inside $Gamma_{i}/Z(Gamma_{i})$ where $Z(Gamma_{i+1})$ is the center of $Gamma_{i+1}$.

If you take the quotient of $Gamma_i/Z(Gamma_i)$ by a normal open subgroup, isn't it isomorphic to a quotient of $Gamma_i$ by a normal open subgroup ?

Let $G=Gamma_i$, $H=Gamma_i / Z(Gamma_i)$ and $p:G to H$ the projection. For every open normal subgroup $V$ of $H$, you can show that $U=p^{-1}(V)$ is an open normal subgroup of $G$ containing $Z(Gamma_i)$. So one one hand, $G/U$ is a $p$-group, and on the other hand, $G/U simeq H/V$.

$Gamma_i$ is a pro-$p$-group (for $ige 1$, not for $i=0$). A quotient of a pro-$p$-group by a closed normal subgroup is still a pro-$p$-group. (The center of $Gamma_i$ is not open.)
