One other factor I've been forgetting: Sirius thought that 
Voldemort  "would never  dream they'd use a weak, talentless 
thing like you." In other words, even if Sirius cracked and fingered 
Peter as the Secret Keeper, Voldemort would never  believe it. 
He would only think that Sirius was still resisting and refusing to 
name the real secret keeper.
