I must admit that when I originally posted this "spy theory" I 
secretly thought Snape might have been DD's "wizard on the spot."  
However, it is also possible that someone else was there spying for 
DD.  Here are some possibilities:

1) Mundungus Fletcher
2) One of the Weasleys
3) Lupin
4) Mad-eye Moody
5) Figg
6) Hagrid (not a great "spy," but he was the first person there)
7) One of the Longbottoms

PS.  Someone backchanneled me asking, "why do I think DD even knew 
where the Potter's were since he wasn't their secret keeper?"  If I 
understand that spell correctly, only the secret keeper can tell 
another person the secret.  So, Sirius or Wormtail could have told DD 
where the Potters were, without sacrificing the location, because DD 
could not tell others.  Moreover, the secret keeper could tell all of 
the "spies" without sacrificing the secret as well.  For more info on 
this, see OOTP (Grimauld Place).
