Given that most of the DEs went to school with the Marauders, I consider
it unlikely that they would all have been told that Pettigrew was a spy
just in case one of them had the reaction that Snape did.  After the
event, it probably would have been divulged by those who were in the
know and were after Pettigrew's blood, but at that time Snape was being
outed as a spy for the Order so I doubt he would have been included in
the memo.
