Potioncat here, and I hope I correctly identified the writers in the 
above posts.

I think that Snape believed Black was the traitor all those years ago 
and that Lupin is helping him now.(Shrieking Shack moment)  What I 
find confusing, is that Black said that when he was in Azkaban, he  
heard all the DE's screaming about Pettigrew doublecrossing them.  
So, if that is true, the DE's in Azkaban knew about Peter.  Why 
didn't Snape know? Or if it isn't true, why is Black saying it?  

I hope all this wasn't brought up in earlier versions of this thread 
and if it was, I apologise.  I also apologise for errors caused by 
rushing as a child calls for me in the background.
