Mostly just Peter & Remus in this...

Ooo, excellent point.  Because Peter would know what the map would 
and wouldn't show, as he was one of those who made it, wouldn't he?

First, can I say, "Ew"?  Either theory.  I mean, ew.  (Although the 
idea of current Voldy being Peter's sort-of son is kind of 
interesting.  "Here, Dad, happy birthday to me, here's a silver 
hand."  "Gosh, thanks son, let's go play a game of catch.")

I would think, however, that in either case, Peter would have to have 
shown some amount of intelligence, either in the anatomical knowledge 
in creating a Franken!baby out of Bertha's parts, or speeding up the 
gestation process so that the bun would be out of the oven in less 
than a month, in order for Voldy to possess it by the beginning of 
GoF.

I think it was also something of self-preservation.  "If I tell them 
that bullying is wrong, then I could very well be the next target."  
By remaining silent (and neither condoning nor condemning their 
actions), Remus is essentially keeping himself safe from being a 
target in the future.
