take the fact in POA it is Sirius who finally tells Dumbledore that 
Pettigrew, Potter and himself turned into Animagi.

Mutual suspician prompted by Wormtail makes more sense to me than 
the idea that Sirius didn't know what Remus is like.  Afterall, they 
had know each other for over seven years.  Did anyone else suspect 
Remus?  I guess in my originaly question I was thinking that others 
suspected him too.
