"If we haven't established where Moony was during the secret-keeper 
switch from Padfoot to Wormtail, then perhaps we should. Is it 
possible that he simply wasn't around, due to a full moon perhaps? 
And do we know why Padfoot was relieved of his secret-keeperness in 
the first place?"

DuffyPoo:

>From PoA, Sirius wasn't 'relieved' of his duties, he relieved himself. "Harry... I as good as killed them,' he [Sirius] croaked. 'I persuaded Lily and James to change to Peter at the last moment, persuaded them to use him as Secret-Keeper instead of me.... I'm to blame, I know it.....I realized what Peter must have done. What I'd done."  Later he says, "Lily and James only made you Secret-Keeper because I suggested it,' Black hissed...'I thought it was the perfect plan .. a bluff ... Voldemort would be sure to come after me, would never dream they'd use a weak, talentless thing like you ... it must have been the finest moment of your miserable life, telling Voldemort you could hand him the Potters."

I don't know why Moony was out of the picture at the time, maybe it was a full moon.  Or maybe it is something in the nature of a werewolf that they couldn't be a Secret-Keeper because of how they transform?  No idea.
