I reply:
Leaving Lily to grieve seems far outside of Voldermort's modius operandi. He seems to kill without mercy. Leaving her to grieve implies, at least to me, so degree of mercy. He uses the AK curse rather indiscriminately, even going so far as to kill Frank Bryce, an old Muggle. 

Pettigrew might be that sneaky but I don't think that his love could have gone unnoticed by on of the other Marauders. It has been my experience that when one longs after another person's significant other, especially in a small tight-knit group, it is picked up on by someone in the group. I think had that been true, Sirius or Remus would have mentioned it in the Shrieking Shack. 

Just my thoughts,
