Valky:
I see your point, Luckdragon. Though, consider, this line from 
Snape's worst memory.

" 'Put that away will you' Sirius said finally......... 'before 
Wormtail wets himself with excitement.' 

and consider Sirius attitude to Kreacher. 

It is small but there is some indication that Sirius was not *nice* 
to his friend Peter, for the most part. And so perhaps Voldemort was 
amenable to the mutual benefit for both himself, and Peter of 
framing Sirius for the betrayal. 

Furthermore, there was always the possibility that, if it were a 
note, it could find its way to Dumbledore instead of Voldy, which 
would spell the end of Voldie's ability to spy on the order if it 
implicated Peter. 

Besides Peter had been the Order mole in the ranks for a long time, 
surely LV knew who sent the note.
