Further on the above subject:

After a few hours sleep, I've realized that of course the Fidelius
Charm and the identity of the Potters' Secret Keeper played a role in
Voldemort's decision on which family to hit first, at least as to when
to act.  

But that doesn't rule out the possibility that he intended to kill the
Longbottoms as well.  I don't think canon tells us whether Dumbledore
advised the Longbottoms to go into hiding as well, does it?  If they
did, then it would seem unlikely that both families' Secret Keepers
would betray them at the same time and that _would_ kill off my
theory.  But if so, would the Longbottoms have emerged from hiding so
quickly after Godric's Hollow that Bella and the gang would be able to
find and torture them?  I'm guessing they weren't in hiding before or
after Godric's Hollow.
