Me:
What makes me wonder is that everybody just assumes is that Snape knows all
members of the DE by full name. That is quite unlikely as GoF tells us
(Karkaroff's hearing in court!). So it is more likely that Snape only knew
that there was somebody out of the Order who spied and it is also very
possible that he only knew the name Wormtail which only had an exact meaning
to Moony, Padfood and Proks, but they never knew about it for Snape could
just think it was an own pseudonym (for the pensive scene in OOP shows after
the OWL that they didn't use their nicknames openly!), so he never told the
Order about it....
