LizVega Here:

Not sure if this pertains to your discussion, but regardless of 
whether or not DD knew that Peter was the traitor, he didn't know 
that Lilly and James made him secret keeper.. DD thought that it was 
Sirius, as did Lupin. Which makes me ask, and I know it's been 
brought up before, but, why is it that Sirius was going to be secret 
keeper anyway, why not DD?
