Pettigrew's attempt to convince Lupin that Sirius must be lying 
because he would've told Lupin about switching Secret-Keepers, Lupin 
says it was because Sirius suspected Lupin of being the spy.  Sirius 
asks forgiveness, and Lupin then states, "And will you, in turn, 
forgive me for believing you were the spy?"

But this doesn't indicate that Lupin suspected Sirius before the 
Potter's deaths, does it?  Like Barb, I interpreted Lupin's words to 
mean that he believed in Sirius' guilt once Sirius was arrested, not 
that he had any suspicions beforehand.  I can see how it could be 
interpreted either way, though.  And either scenario would give 
Lupin more than sufficient cause for guilt.
