What if Sirius as secretkeeper wrote the Potter's Hiding
Place down on paper and then DIDN'T PROPERLY DESTROY IT?
And what if Pettigrew found the paper and took it to
Voldemort, where its authenticity can be verified either
by Regulus Black or the Black family crest that appeared
on the paper? Once Voldemort had the location, the Potters
were doomed.
 
vmonte responds:
Peter already knew the address because he was the secret
keeper. And Sirius made Peter the secret keeper according
to the books.

yes but in the previous paragraph hagrid, in describing what
his role was the night the Potters died and how Sirius
loaned him the motorbike says  "Dumbledore knew he'd bin
the Potters' Secret-Keeper."
This statement is then supported by Fudge.
McGonagall changes directions in mid sentence when describing 
Pettigrew. "Never quite in their league, talent wise. I was
often rather sharp with him. You can imagine how I - how I 
regret that now,,,," She sounded as though she had a sudden 
head cold."
Hmmmmm - or a sudden change of heart? Did she know 
something the others didn't? If she knew that Sirius was
NOT the Secret Keeper, did she know that Peter was much more
likely to betray Lily and James than Surius was? If so why 
didnt she say anything?


Then in the Shrieking Shack, after Lupin arrives, he asks a
strange question and gets seems to convince himself of an
up to this point unlikely fact - 
ALL THROUGH LEGILLIMENS 

POA Chapter 17
"But then..." Lupin mutthered, STARING AT BLACK SO INTENTLY
IT SEEMED HE WAS TRYING TO READ HIS MIND,{a blatant clue
that Lupin could at least try legillimens}
"... why hasn't he shown hinself before now" Unless" - 
Lupin's eyes suddenly widened, as though he was seeing
something beyond Black, something none of the rest could
see, {another clue that Lupin used  legillimens}" 
- unless he was the one, ...unless you switched without
telling me ?"

Telling me ............or anyone else for that matter.
So it is only Sirius' word, {or thought transferred}
that supports Peter as new SK. 
Lupin draws that conclusion based on Sirius' thoughts.

Then later on, after a lot activity, Harry finally yells
that Sirius was the secret keeper, and Harry hears Sirius
start a confessional until {sirius'} voice broke. {Sirius}
turned away.

But Lupin is very unsympathetic -
"Enough of this,"said Lupin, and there was a steely note
in his voice Harry never heard before." 
I have puzzled about this quote often, and have a theory,
but that is for a later post.....

Once Scabbers transformed to Pettigrew, Black gets his
courage back 
"Lily and James only made you Secret-Keeper because I
suggested it," black hissed so venomously that Pettigrew 
took a step backwards...

Pettigrew was muttering distractedly; Harry caught words 
like "far-fetched" and "lunacy", but he couldnt help
paying more attention to the ashen color of 
Pettigrew's face ....

I think there is enough doubt to make the stolen paper
theory at least possible.
