I believe that Harry's secret would be the same as the one his 
parents tried to keep: his *location*. Voldemort didn't want 
information, he wanted any threat to his livelihood destroyed.

Dubmledore would not be so foolhardy as to assume Voldemort could 
never again present a threat to Harry or the rest of the wizarding 
world, and would certainly have taken precautions against even a 
remote possibility of you-know-who's return.
