Potioncat:
I don't think anyone but Voldemort knew that Peter was his spy. If Snape had known who was passing information, he would have told DD.--or possibly killed that person himself. (At that point in time.) I believe that DD, Snape and Lupin all thought Black was the spy after the event in the street. Before that, they only knew it was someone close to the Potters.

Potioncat: Sending Black to the Dementors would have nothing to do with Snape's promise to protect Harry from LV. He made that promise to honor Lily's memory, and it was against LV. Black was just one of many attempts at Harry.
