Of course there wasn't any hesitation. Everyone believed that
Sirius was the Potters' secret keeper. Once he comitted the
crime against the Muggles everyone pegged him as the traitor.
But, through the course of the third book we learn that Sirius
wasn't the Potters' secret keeper after all and that duty was
bestowed upon Wormtail who betrayed them all. But nobody knew
that other than James and Lilly (who are dead), Sirius
(who told James to go to Wormtail) and Wormtail (who was the
betrayer, and honored dead).

All the witches and wizards in the wizarding world believed
Sirius was guilty, why wouldn't Remus? And when Remus came
to Hogwarts and the plot which began to unfold around him,
the blame game makes sense. At least to me :)

Thankfully, they're both good guys and I hope we see lots
more of them in the future.
