Dumbledore. **NO** I am not arguing evil Dumbledore or anything of
similar nonsense. :)

All that I am saying that it is possible that the webs of lies and
mistrust that Voldemort weaved around members of the original order
went very deep, maybe even deeper than we know and I want to know
**who** did it ( Shhhhh, Pippin ;)) As we know Sirius and Remus
suspected each other, and I also speculate that maybe someone told
James and Lily that Dumbledore for some reason is not worthy of
their trust ( if that happened, then Dumbledore's not respecting his
wishes is even more annoying, but this is of course speculation on
the top of speculation).

Ooh, yes.  Very good question that I've seen touched on elsewhere now 
that the debate about the cloak is opening up new venues.

Lupin was suspected.  Sirius was suspected.  Who knows?  Maybe even 
James was suspected - what better place to hide if you're guilty than 
as one of the potential victims?  Maybe the web of lies and mistrust 
was so pervasive that even DD was suspected.  Didn't someone mention 
that no one could trust anybody else at the height of VWI?

But, Sirius and James trusted Peter.  He might not have seemed the 
type, he seemed too wrapped up in his hero-worship of James, or 
whatever.  Sirius and James, and most likely Lily too, thought that 
making him the SK would be a good idea, a switch no one would dream 
of.  Slightly dismissive of Peter, but everyone seems to dismiss him.

A trusted person, or someone who wasn't seen to be smart or brave or 
treacherous enough, could start a whispering campaign like this.  If 
it is anyone, I would go with Peter, who had his own reasons to pit 
allies against each other.
