Officially, Peter. He admits that he betrayed Lily and James in PoA.
(Well, he admits *why* he did it and *that* he was a spy, even if he
never admits the actual betrayl.) (PoA, UStPB, p373-5)
Sirius and Lupin suspected each other.
So why is this on JKR's website? (Extra Stuff, opening chapters of
PS): "Other drafts included a character by the name of 'Pyrites',
whose name means 'fool's gold'. He was a servant of Voldemort's and
was meeting Sirius in front of the Potters' house. Pyrites, too, had
to be discarded . . ."
Why was a servent of LV *meeting* *Sirius* in front of J&L's house?
Is it possible that this is a Flint, or at least an artifact from an
earlier draft in which SB was the actual spy? Or is a slip?
I guess we'll find out in a couple weeks, maybe, but what do you
guys think?
