We know that Dumbledore tells the students at the leaving feast (GoF) 
that Voldemort's ability to create division between people is a great 
threat and that everyone (Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, giants, elves) 
must stand together. (Sorry dont have a direct quote - I've lent GoF 
to a friend.)

So I think it is entirely possible that Voldemort (via one of his 
supporters .. more than likley Wormtail) would be malicious enough to 
create distrust between the Marauders by whatever means they can in 
order to get to Lily and James. 

What I cant wait to find out in later books is why Lily and James 
were such a target. All who openly opposed Voldemort's reign would, 
admittedly be at risk, but to invoke "ancient magic" in the form of a 
secret keeper... why were they particularly targeted?
