If the Potters were in hiding and Peter Pettigrew/Wormtail was the
secret keeper, then he still is the secret keeper. he always will be.

Eddie:
I can't say for sure how it happened, but the secret has been broken.
 We can infer that because a number of people other than Peter
Pettigrew have told Harry that his parents were hiding at Godrick's
Hollow, something they would not have been able to do if the secret
was still intact.

There was some speculation and educated guessing in this forum a week
or two back about the how and why, but I can fairly summarize it as:

(a) the secret was broken because the people the secret was about
(Lily and James Potter) are dead

and/or

(b) the secret was broken because the secret keeper (Peter) was
unfaithful and gave away the secret to the main person the secret was
supposed to be kept from (Voldemort).
