I've said this before and haven't received a reply, so I really hope 
that this time someone will respond:

Sirius (and James) suspected Lupin because they were forced to. DD 
told James that someone close to him was a traitor. James had to 
choose between his three best friends - not a lot of choice there. 
One he trusts as a brother (Sirius) and one he can't (tragically) 
take seriously enough to see as a threat (Pettigrew). Lupin is the 
spy by default. In the same way, after James' and Lily's death, Lupin 
is forced into believing Sirius guilty (I'm assuming that Lupin 
wasn't in the know about the spy thing before). I don't think there 
is any evidence that the breakdown of trust between them had any 
other sources.
