The thing that gets me about the great SK-switcheroo is that even if
Peter hadn't been a traitor, it wouldn't have worked.  

Let's pretend for a moment.  Let's say Peter wasn't a spy and a
traitor, that he stayed on the side of good but that his personality
was the same.  

Sirius is the decoy, Peter is the SK and the Potters go into hiding. 
Voldemort comes looking for the Potters.  He kidnaps people
associated closely with James and Lily.  Sirius holds up under
torture and doesn't reveal anything.  Ditto Lupin, who has the
additional benefit of not knowing for sure anyway.

Can we really see Peter holding up under torture?  Voldemort might
torture him just to find out Siruis' whereabouts but can't you see
Peter spilling everything including the Secret?
