Jamie:

Personally, I dont think that DD was ever going to be an option. We know how 
bad things were for the Order before baby Harry sent him off to la-la-land 
for 11 years. Hagrid tells us how bad it was and again in OoTP we are told 
that this time the Order is more prepared than last time.

If you were part of a small order trying to defeat the most evil wizard in 
the history of everything and you had on your side the only wizard the bad 
guy ever feared, could you honestly say you would put him in more danger by 
being your secret keeper? If there's a way to break a secret keeper, you not 
only lose the presumed child of the prophesy, but also the only other hope 
that you have. You can't afford to lose both, so you chose the next best 
thing, and choose someone who would rather die than betray you.

I don't think that the potters didn't trust DD, I think they tried to keep 
all options open for the Order.
