Snape may have never found out because he was never told. Kepe in 
mind, that the DE are so paranoid that no single DE except Voldemort 
knows who all the others are--so it's very likely that Snape never 
found out because he never *saw* Peter for sure at DE functions...
(and. Peter may not have gone to gatherings anyway--I dont think he 
ahs the Mark, so Voldemort calling his DE would have no compunction 
for Peter to follow. Reporting himself to Voldemort, though...


To be honest--I suspect only Voldemort knew about Peter within the DE 
structre. Much safer and smarter that way (I also notice that it 
seems Voldemort was a lot smarter, or at least more effective, the 
first time around)>>

Sorry, couldn't resist correcting...

We know for sure Pettigrew has the Dark Mark because LV uses it to 
summon his other Death Eaters to the graveyard in GoF.

We also know for sure that there were at least *some* Death Eaters 
who knew about Pettigrew because Sirius mentions on PoA that he 
overheard DE's in Azkaban vowing revenge against him because they 
believe he trapped LV - they think he knew the AK was going to 
backfire. After all, Pettigrew lived his life as Scabbers because he 
was hiding from his fellow DE's quite as much as from anyone who 
might have figured out he set up Sirius and the Potters.

But that doesn't detract from your main point: that no DE knows all 
the other DE's, so yes, it is not impossible that Snape might not 
have known about Pettigrew at all.
On the other hand, he may have turned to Dumbledore because one of 
the Marauders had invaded *his* service club and in revenge he would 
invade *theirs*.
Erm - need coffee I think.

Yours severely,
