In the conversation in the Three Broomsticks Fudge said that Dumbledore
knew that someone close to the Potters had been passing information
to Voldemort for a while. Both Lupin and Sirius must have known that, too.
>From what Sirius said in the Shrieking Shack I assume that he didn't trust
Peter, but that he thought he wasn't smart enough to be the spy. So
he concluded it must be Lupin. And vice versa. No one suspected little,
talentless Peter, they all underestimated him. And both Lupin and Sirius
admitted in the Shrieking Shack that they suspected each other rather than
Peter.

I think you can count on me. :) As much as I like the other characters,
I'm always looking for an occasion to discuss our favorite wizard...
