How could Dumbledore think it was Sirius if it was actually Peter 
who let him in on the secret?<


Remember in OoP, Harry learned the secret of 12 Grimmauld Place not 
by word of mouth but by memorizing a piece of paper.  Dumbledore did 
not have to be face to face with Pettigrew to be in on the secret.  
All Peter would have to do is write a little note to Dumbledore.  
And if he disguised his handwriting, how would Dumbledore know it 
was Peter rather than Sirius?

KathyK, who would like to elaborate but must go to work instead.
