Urm, Lily mumu 2001, Remus, who was the closest to Sirius, had spent 
12 years believing him to be guilty, as did the wise Dumbledore. I 
don't expect the rest of the old gang to be any more perceptive.

Urm, Carole, when Dumbledore sent Sirius to alert the old gang, it 
was one year after Dumbledore had learned of Sirius's innocence. I 
expect that one year is enough time for Dumbledore to have spread the 
word of Sirius's innocence and Peter's guilt, either to the selected 
few who would trust his word more than Fudge's, or to everyone and 
damn the consequence of being thought loony by most Daily Prophet 
readers.
