Why the old Black mansion is a lovely place to hide and wait! Who 
would know better how to find his best friend's house and even sneak 
in.  After all, there was no need for a secret keeper until the Order 
moved in. "...Kreacher had made himself something that looked like a 
nest.  A jumble of assorted rags and smelly old blankets were piled 
on the floor and the small dent in the middle of it showed where 
Kreacher curled up to sleep every night.  Here and there among the 
material were stale bread crusts and moldy old bits of cheese." (US 
ed. 504)  Sounds like the perfect place for 2 rats to share.

BTW, I realize Sirius would recognize Peter IF he saw him and that a 
rat with a silver hand would stand out a bit.  We do not yet know the 
properties of that hand.

"Harry heard something scuttling behind the baseboards" (US ed 61)

Just thinking aloud...
