Now Hayes:

Good question and one I think might have to be part of the books as Pettigrew 
returns as a character.

Maybe it has something to do with Sirius's suspicion of Lupin as the spy in the 
order (this from Shrieking Shack scene in POA).  Maybe they knew Lupin was 
doing something with/for Dumbledore secretly (as yet unknown to us, as 
many other Lupin things are), and thought it was too risky to tell Dumbledore, 
whose mind might be read by Lupin.

So, the first part canon, the second pure speculation (mmm . . . delicious 
speculation).

Hayes, who thinks it might be too early in the morning to attempt a written 
imitation of Homer Simpson.
