And was he always planning to frame Sirius for it? I think he was. Even if
Voldemort had stayed in power, after killing all 3 potters, it would've been
beneficial for him to have everyone still think that Peter Pettigrew was still
in Dumbledore's camp OR Voldemort had it in for sirius for reasons completely
unrelated to the potters and wanted to have him blamed for their deaths (for
giving up the secret) and would've had Peter pin it on sirius anyway.
And the reason I feel this - I'm not sure Peter could've planned that whole
Confront Sirius In A Crowd With The Accusation plot by himself
Any thoughts?
