I am thinking that Sirius didn't suspect Remus because of believing
Remus to be untrustworthy, but because Remus is a werewolf and that
might make him vulnerable to something in between being blackmailed
and being manipulated in wolf form into doing things he doesn't
really remember the next day. And he doesn't want to tell Remus
something so unkind, but he broods on it and thus becomes a bit cold
or constrained in his behavior toward Remus.
And Remus noticed this unexplained change in Sirius's behavior and
the only reason he can figure out for it is if Sirius is the traitor.
And I personally am a Sirius/Remus shipper, which makes the mutual
suspicion all the sadder, but also all the more likely: one comes to
believe that the worst fear is the true one, and the worst fear is
that one's own spouse/partner/lover is the traitor.
