Potters' Secret Keeper" - PoA, p.392, paperback."

Del replies:
I don't have PoA on hand, so I can't check the context of that
statement, but is it possible that DD gave this evidence *before* the
events of GH? When the Potters went into hiding, it is possible the
Ministry asked DD if they were fine and what had happened to them, and
he told them they were in hiding, protected by the Fidelius Charm,
with Sirius as Secret-Keeper. If Sirius's plan was to lure LV into
going after him, it would make sense that his being the SK would have
been made known to quite a few people.

Just an idea,
