Tasha asked:
(snip)
1) Since all the DE have a place in Voldemort´s little circle 
wouldn´t Snape know that Wormtail was a DE?

2) In POA Sirius says on page 272 of the British version, `ready to 
stike the moment he could be sure of allies...to deliver the last 
Potter to them.` I am wondering why does it seem that Voldemort 
wants the whole Potter line squashed? I know this is an ongoing 
question, but I thought it was intersting that Sirius says, `last 
Potter´.


Now me:

To your first question: I believe LV's circle at the end of GoF is 
the inner core of the DEs only.  Perhaps the first to be initiated 
into the 'Order'. (The Order of Death Eaters that is.)  Peter would 
have been brought in to the fold later, than say Lucius or 
Bellatrix.  Also, it is to LV advantage to keep some of his DE 
identity a secret from the others, I'm not saying this is true in 
Peter's case, but the less people know he's a spy the more secure and 
effective his position is.
Does any one know if Peter wears the Dark Mark?

In response to your second question Sirius doesn't know about the 
prophecy and hence he doesn't know that it is Harry specifically who 
is LV target not necessarily the Potter line.  Although that could 
all change depending on what's in the next 2 books :-).  Sirius's 
just knows that LV murdered James and Lily and subsequently has gone 
after Harry, and as there are no other siblings, it must seem logical 
to Sirius to simply believe LV is targeting the whole family not just 
Harry Potter.
