Exactly.  To add something to that, I think that Voldie was 
specifically named as someone in the Fidelius Charm.  I imagine the 
charm working that way; since it was so complicated, names were 
specific.  Even if another Death Eater led him to the Potters' home, 
he wouldn't have been able to find them.  Maybe other DEs were named 
as well, which is why a swarm of them did not turn up at the Potters.

Does anyone else think that Lily is the one who cast the Fidelius 
Charm, BTW?
