Yes, but knowing that Peter somehow betrayed the Potters doesn't 
explain what exactly he did that constitutes a betrayal. Personally 
I find it important that he divulged their location to Voldemort, 
because if you think about it, simply being Voldemort's servant can 
constitute as a betrayal in and of itself. Telling Voldemort, "My ex-
best friends whom you want to kill live there," is a quite a bit 
more grievous an offense.

It was also not mentioned that Pettigrew murdered 13 muggles to 
escape Sirius, which I think portrays him in an entirely different 
light than that in which he appears in the movie.

I've seen people argue that even if it wasn't explained in POA, 
they'll just put it into GOF, but if they have to fill up GOF with 
POA explanations, how are they going to find space to explain GOF 
events?
