I think it would've become obvious to James and Lily that Peter 
betrayed them the moment they saw Voldemort enter their house. 
Though, I'd also agree that they might think the was tricked until 
they saw him with Voldemort. 

Here's a question though, did Lily and James know that Peter was 
made Secret Keeper instead of Sirius? Seems to me their knowledge 
isn't a prerequisit of the Secret spell.

Actually, that made me wonder and I don't have my books with me: did 
we ever hear Peter himself admit to delivering Potters to Voldemort? 
Or do we still have only Sirius' word to go by?
