Both Spies...

Okay. You are all allowed to hate me if this has been discussed about
a 1000 times- I did look through the archives, but I am a little dense
on occasion (as you will all see below
).

Now, we know that Snape was once a DE—he's got the scar to
prove it.
We also know that he switched sides somewhere down the line and became
a "double agent," feeding info to the Order while still
appearing to
be loyal to VM. 
Okay. Here is what I don't get.

Presumably, around this same time Peter was betraying the Order,
becoming a spy for VM. A double agent like Snape, but on the opposite
side. Now, how is it that these two wouldn't have spotted each
other?
If Peter were waltzing up to VM with Order info, wouldn't Snape,
as a
trusted DE, be privy to this inside information? And wouldn't he
then
turn around and inform the Order that they had a spy on their hands?
Possibly Snape /is/ where DD's "Spy Theory" initially
came from. But
why wouldn't Snape have known it was Peter? Why would VM have kept
that a secret? 

In the same light, why would Peter, being a member of the Order, not
tell VM that Snape was spying for DD? This just hurts my head. I will
buy that maybe VM had no reason for Snape to know about Peter.
However, there is no way that Peter wouldn't have known about
Snape.
We know more about how the Order runs, and it appears to me that
everyone is kept well informed.
Of course. I could be completely wrong. Especially since DD suspected
a traitor, he may have kept Snape's status to himself. I guess it
is
also possible Peter only became a traitor that very night he was made
the Potter's secret keeper (and this would suggest that someone
else
in the order had been the spy all along
 but the ESE!Lupin theory
breaks my  heart, sorry Pippin).
Still. This seems to leave some unanswered questions in my mind. How
did both spies never cross paths?

Sorry for the devil's advocate game—this is why I never post.
I
haven't got a clear, stubborn idea for anything. Also, sorry for
the
English- my Pig Latin is better. :D
