> Perhaps I wasn't clear.  LV would go after Peter for information about the Potters' location and for information about Sirius' hiding place (because LV would assume Sirius was the SK). Since Sirius isn't protected by a Fidelius Charm, his whereabouts could be spoken about by others. Once he had Peter in his grip, LV would find out that in fact he'd hit the jackpot because it was Peter who was the SK after all! >

Juli:
What I meant is that IF Peter weren't the spy the Potters' plan would have worked. That is of course asuming nobody in DD's inner circle is a spy. Everyone thinks Sirius is the SK, he goes into hidding and only the Potters know where. Now Peter becomes the SK, and because he is *not* a spy, he doesn't go straight to LV, he hides or whatever. But unfortunately that didn't happen, Peter who's been a spy for almost a year, plays it cool and is named the SK, the next moment he goes straight to LV, how proud must he felt! And just as you say Madga, LV hit the jackpot, he was just looking to find out where the secret keeper was and then going after him, I don't think he ever would have guessed the secret keeper was Peter.
