Pippin,
I'm new to the group but thought I would put my two cents in on 
this.  You have an interesting theory.  It was interesting that the 
secret keeper switch was made at the last minute.  If James and 
Sirius thought Voldemort would go after Sirius, then of course, 
Wormtail, would have free reign over the Potters.  My question is, 
why not keep Sirius as the real secret keeper and play on Wormtail's 
lack of confindence?  Give him the false info, like your theory.  
Voldemort would show up at a place filled with members of the Order 
ready to attack him.
