Even though it apparently was common knowledge that there was a spy 
in the Order, I think James "who wold have regarded it as the height 
of dishonor to mistrust his friends" (DH, p 81) would consider it 
outside the realm of possibly that the spy would one of his 
friends...  Imagine instead of James, Sirius, and Peter, we were 
talking about Harry, Ron, and Hermione -- could anyone imagine Ron 
or Hermione betraying Harry?

But I don't understand... I don't think James didn't mistrust his 
friends. He didn't trust Lupin enough to tell him there had been a 
change in Secret Keeper. So he considered it the height of dishonor 
to mistrust his friends except for Lupin? JKR really doesn't make 
sense here...
