      This is one of the reasons why I am convinced that Snape was also 
present at Godric's Hollow.  Who else would have told DD what had 
happened? Peter was trying to evade the Order and Sirius directly after 
GH.  I am not a great believer in portraits in a house under the 
Fidelius charm. There is also the scene in the PS/SS DVD showing a man 
wearing black robes with a thin line of white at the wrist, exactly like 
Snape's, which JKR allowed to remain in the movie. It is definitely a 
teaser.
