I think both Sirius and Remus suspected each other by default,
thinking roughly like this:
Someone close to Lily and James is betraying their movements to
Voldemort. I know it isn't me, and Peter is too weak and incompetent
to dare to be a spy. So it has to be Remus / Sirius. 

Both of them grew more distant to the other, interpreting this mutual
coldness as justification of their suspicions (though I wonder if
Peter couldn't have helped a little). Lord Voldemort's gift for
spreading discord and enmity is very great after all.
