Pippin:
I'm not sure which of my theories Carolyn was referring to, but I am pretty sure
that Peter's babbling and broken "I never meant for it to happen" is the truth.
I don't think he voluntarily revealed to Voldemort that he was the secret-keeper.

His performance in the Shrieking Shack, where he breaks down so quickly, 
does not argue that he could have concealed treachery for an entire year, 
certainly not once Dumbledore began to suspect someone close to the Potters. 
It is possible that he spied unwittingly at first, like Bagman, and then was 
blackmailed into continuing. But I don't see how he could've gotten away with
it for long -- he's no occlumens and far too poor an actor.

My husband says he always can spot the villain in a whodunnit -- he ignores
all the clues and concentrates on spotting the character who doesn't have any
other reason to be in the story. People do seem to be complaining about how
useless Lupin is, don't they? ::smirk::
