I don't think Dumbledore ever gave Peter much thought. He probably didn't even bother with Legilimens on him. Peter could always rely on others underestimating him.
The double spy theory that Arwencordelia gives above is also fascinating. Dumbledore letting that bumbling fool spy away and then the fool getting the information about the Potters without Dumbledore knowing about it! It is also a very chilling prospect considering that in that case D. must have suspected the switch rather than really believing that both Sirius and Peter had been spies after all (esp. if we assume that he had Legilimensed Sirius and found him clear) yet apparently did nothing to help Sirius.
