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.
