*was* a spy.  Snape didn't know which one, unfortunately . . . of 
course, maybe James wouldn't have believed him if he'd said it was 
Peter, either.  I prefer to think that he would have; that he trusted 
Sirius despite the warnings (if there were even specific warnings 
against Sirius, which we don't know) because he knew Sirius to the 
core--and he was right, Sirius would never have betrayed him.  Maybe 
if the warning had been about Peter, on the other hand, it would have 
been believed.


If you look back to the Shierking Shack scene in PoA, I think they 
(James and Sirius)thought Remus was the spy not Peter.(pg. 373)

"Not if he thought I was the spy, Peter," said Lupin. "I assume 
that's why you didn't tell me, Sirius?" he said casually over 
Pettigrew's head.

Based on Snape's hatred of Remus and Sirius he may have supplied 
information that both of them were spies. However James refused to 
believe his oldest and dearest friend of such treachery. There may, 
on the otherhand, have been doubts about Remus because of his 
lycanthropy. James and Sirius didn't want to believe that Remus could 
be the spy, but rumors about Voldemort contolling dark creatures 
caused doubts and they knew someone had been passing information to 
Voldemort. 

If they had really thought things out though, they would have 
realized it was Peter who was the spy. He always liked to hide behind 
the biggest kids on the block, and who was the biggest at that time, 
Voldemort.  Just my thoughts.
