Personally, I go with the face value reading that it was James.

I don't think the secret keeper telling someone the secret can 
completely break the charm, because DD sends Harry the slip of paper 
with the location of the HQ of the OotP.  If the secret was then out 
to everyone, the whole charm would have to be re-done, and all the 
people who were in on the secret before Harry (and including Harry) 
would have to be told all over again.  

So I agree with Vivamus, that if Snape was at GH, Peter must have 
told him, or at least told Voldy and Snape at the same time.  

As to Mooseming's posts and whether Snape *was* there... The posts 
seem to me to have a friendly but lightly mocking tone.  If it *was* 
JKR, I sincerely doubt that any real hints or clues were given.  In 
fact, I'd go further and say that we could categorically rule out 
everything that Mooseming suggested.  But I doubt that JKR will 
confirm or deny it, so it's one more thing that we can disagree 
about 'til the cows come home in book 7.

Anyway, since then, hasn't JKR said that Peter was responsible for 
hiding Voldy's wand?  Thus Peter was *definitely* there.
