Perhaps, but as they were attacked later, maybe they had come out of 
hiding.

I think Dumbledore "knew," too.  And he did let Hagrid go to Azkaban 
knowing he was innocent.  There was nothing he could do to stop it, 
so......
Could the situation have been similar with Sirius?  I wonder if 
Sirius might have been under an Imperius when he suggested Peter 
for secret keeper.
