"Even if it doesn't, 
Voldemort is wasting his time torturing and killing someone who has 
no information. If Sirius died, it would act as a warning for Peter 
that Voldemort might start pursuing other options (probably Lupin or 
one of Lily's friends first though). "

DuffyPoo:
You've just convinced me that not even Sirius knew the whereabouts of the Potters after the FC was produced making Peter the SK.  I've always thought it would be silly to let a lot of people in on it as LV could certainly use his magic to torture them into telling.  The problem with it, still, is that Sirius knew where to go to look for them when he couldn't find Peter that night.  However, I still maintain that the address is blocked from the memories of those who knew when the FC is produced, so when it is broken - in this case by the destruction of the house - that it comes back to those memories and that is how DD knew to send Hagrid and how Sirius knew where to go.
Similarly, I don't think anybody - apart from DD and HP - know all of the prophecy (and I'm not sure HP or *we* do, yet).  Perhaps the person who had to get it into crystal ball form knew/knows the whole thing, or that could be something that DD was able to create.  But I don't think McGonnagal, Snape, or perhaps even Lily/James and Alice/Frank knew exactly what was said.
