Bookworm:
We don't know who performed the Fidelius Charm.  Dumbledore offered 
to be the Secret-Keeper, but the Potters chose Sirius instead, then 
changed at the last minute to Peter Pettigrew. Supposedly Sirius was 
the only one who knew about the change.

I think Dumbledore was asked a question about it and said something 
like "that was what I was told" or something else non-committal. He 
didn't actually say that Sirius was the Secret-Keeper. I remember 
looking it up a few months ago, but can't remember which scene it 
was.  Dumbledore talking to Fudge during PoA sticks in my mind.
