Ok, maybe I didn't fully understand it the first time around. But, 
no, I'm positive Dumbledore didn't know they switched because 
otherwise he could have defended Sirius against the MoM (well, 
against Crouch anyhoo).

Don't be. No one knew except James, Lily, Sirius, & Peter that the 
Secret Keeper was switched. That's why everyone (well, everyone Fudge 
told; god, I don't trust that man.) though Sirius betrayed the 
Potters. After all, who would tell the truth. James & Lily are dead, 
Peter (that little rat) is also "dead", & Sirius can't be trusted by 
anyone.
