You make a very good point here, but just a thought...if they had killed 
Peter, Sirius would never have any proof that he was innocent.  If he was 
ever caught, he would return to Azkaban with no questions asked.  At least 
if Peter was spared and was forced to confess what he had done, Sirius 
could be free.  I know Sirius is supposedly dead now, but at that point in 
time in Book 3, sparing Peter's life was the only way for Sirius to be found innocent.
