I just wanted to comment on the above.  The fact that Peter called 
LV 'The Dark Lord' was what convinced me that he was the spy.  Only 
DEs call him 'The Dark Lord', every one else calls him 'You Know 
Who' or 'He Who Must Not Be Named' (apart from the very few who 
actaully call him Lord Voldemort).

I haven't got my books to hand but this is in canon because Harry 
asks Snape why he calls him The Dark Lord when only DEs call him 
that - I think it's during the Occlumancy lessons, but not sure 
about that.

He flinches at his name because he's terrified of him.  He went to 
his side because he's weak and easily led and he thought he was 
going to be on the side of the ones with all the power (like he was 
at Hogwarts being in with the 'In-Crowd') and he went back to him 
because he had no where else to go.  LV says this to him in OotP.

JMO!
