James Potter

Hello.  I think that the reason James Potter did not have DD as his secret keeper is that he (Potter) did not take the warnings seriously enough.  It seems to me that James was arrogant, and although he must have been more mature as a husband and father than at age 15, it was his arrogance that in the end allowed LV to destroy him and Lily.  I think that is one of the main reasons DD gave Harry to the Dursley's : to prevent Harry from becoming a "pampered prince", more arrogant than even his father was.
I also think that Tom Riddle and James Potter were related in some way, because they share not only a physical resemblance but also arrogance.
