in  assuming Fudge wasn't an auror?), it was *Fudge* who was 
first on the scene. Alone, no less. There quick enough that Sirius 
hadn't left yet (which had to be fairly quick, I can't see why Sirius 
 would hang around there. <<

Fudge was in the department of magical catastrophes, so he 
had a legitimate reason for being there. I agree that the 
department must have been tipped off, but that doesn't mean 
that Fudge did it. It was probably part of the elaborate plan to 
frame Sirius, which as you've agreed, must have been 
developed prior to Voldemort's downfall.

 If Wormtail didn't do it alone,  his partner(s) must have been 
involved not only in the betrayal of the Potters, but in the 
espionage. That would provide a reason to frame Sirius that 
would outlast the downfall. If Sirius implicates  Wormtail, then 
Wormtail will rat out the other spies. Voldemort's plan would 
have been to eliminate both Sirius and Peter, leaving any other 
agents to continue their work. 

That would be much to his advantage, since eliminating the 
Potters would  not have neutralized the Order. Voldie would still 
have Dumbledore and that pesky other prophecy child to contend 
with.

who doesn't believe Fudge would say he had nightmares about 
the Muggle bodies if he wanted Voldemort in power
