was Snape involved in that behind the scenes? With James and Lily's 
knowledge, and James' disapproval? 

Hmmm.  If it involved using a potion, maybe Snape would have been 
involved.  But, if his help was necessary, and James and Lily knew 
it, I don't think James would have disapproved.  He might not have 
been happy about it, but I would think that protecting Harry would 
have been paramount to him.  Plus, it would have been a way for Snape 
to pay back the debt he owed James for getting him away from Remus 
after the ill-advised "prank" orchestrated by Sirius when the boys 
were at Hogwarts.


>And was it James who decided that they would make Peter their Secret-
Keeper instead of Sirius? And not tell Dumbledore?  Am I forgetting 
any crucial bits of info from Sirius which would invalidate this 
speculation? 

No it wasn't James' idea.  Sirius tells the Trio in the Shrieking 
Shack scene that it was his plan to switch Secret Keepers.  "Lily and 
James only made you Secret Keeper because I suggested it...I thought 
it was the perfect plan."
