>> I have always thought that it was a simple process of
elimination. [snip] That leaves Peter and Remus. Of the two, Remus is 
a dark creature - a member of a species highly distrusted, even 
feared, by most of the wizarding world. Even though they had supported
Remus through their years at Hogwarts, perhaps it was just easier to 
believe that he (because of his condition) could go over to 
Voldemort's cause rather than little Peter, who - from what we know 
of him as a young man - seems to have been rather inept (or at
least pretending to be inept) and a bit on the dim (or at least 
immature) side (I'm taking this from the "Snape's Worst Memory" 
chapter of OotP). <<

HunterGreen:
That just doesn't sit well with me. I can't see James and Sirius 
suddenly turning on Lupin based only on his condition which had never 
been an issue before. I especially can't see Lily doing that (I 
imagine she would be warmer to Lupin than she would to Peter, since 
Lupin was the least supportive of the behavior in the pensieve 
flashback that she was very much against). There had to be something 
*more* than just the werewolfness. Personally, I think it was ESE!
Lupin acting a little odd, something that Sirius (and perhaps James 
and Lily as well), picked up on. Or, as it was suggested upthread, 
Sirius and Lupin had a splintered relationship following the prank so 
Sirius naturally suggested Peter over him (and we don't know *for 
sure* that Lily and James took Sirius' suggestion...).
