Well, Dumbledore did know. He even offered to be the Potter's Secret 
Keeper instead of Sirius, but James insisted on using Sirius. 

"'Naturally,' said Professor McGonagall. 'James Potter told 
Dumbledore that Black would die rather than tell where they were, 
that Black was planning on going into hiding himself...and yet, 
Dumbledore remained worried. I remember him offering to be the 
Potters' Secret Keeper himself.'"

But yes, I can believe Lily did the Fidelius Charm herself, after 
all, her wand was good at charms.
