Chys:

The fact of the matter is, Peter was made the secret keeper 
because Sirius was too obvious. This is canon.

Also, something that a few people obviously didn't pick up- 
Neville's MOTHER gave him that wrapper. 

She's incapable of giving him anything other than little things 
like that and the fact it was -from- her -to- him is sentimental. 
He kept it because it was a gift from her, made me sad there when 
I first read it. Reminded me of a relative of mine who does the 
same thing. She doesn't have any other way to do anything for him, 
in that state. It's hard to believe some people didn't catch that 
part. 

But I suppose the papers laying about was a good point- in the 
fact that if you have a secret, you must keep it to yourself 
without the potential that someone could steal it or pick it up. 
I don't think that had anything to do with the Longbottom's 
problem though.
