now me (addictedtobass2003):
I may be wrong, but I always assumed that to have a secret keeper, 
you needed to have a _secret_ as well as someone who wanted you to 
divulge it.
Harry certainly has someone after him, but at the point when the 
fidelius charm was supposedly performed on him, Voldemort was less 
than a spirit, so was in no fit state to get Harry to spill the 
beans on anything.
Also, at the age of one(?) would he have a secret to keep?  IIRC, he 
doesn't remember anything that happened that night, other than the 
burst of green light, and sometimes a scream or a few words from his 
who he assumes to be his parents.
