Tammy:

mmm... good point. Another aspect of Peter changing and the others not
noticing it could be that they just didn't see him much. I know that
in school Peter tagged around the other three, but most (if not all)
of the spying and LV junk would have happened after school. We know
that Lupin was shut out (at least to a certain extent, as he wasn't at
the wedding or at Harry's christening/baptism/naming ceremony thingy),
who's to say that the other three saw Peter enough to notice a change?
