Eddie:
I've got a problem with this scenario.  I infer from it that the
secret keeper's secret can be broken and I think canon is opposed to
that.  For instance, we know that if the secret keeper dies, the
secret dies with him.  But does that mean that if the
person/place/thing that the secret is about is killed/destroyed, then
the secret is broken?  In addition, even though Lily and James are
dead and the house at Godric Hollow is destroyed, Harry is still
alive.  Wouldn't the secret continue?  Or (yet a 3rd alternative!)
maybe Harry wasn't explicitly mentioned in the secret.  Or (yet a 4th
alternative!) JKR was a bit inconsistent.

Speculation is cool with me, BTW.

Eddie, who wonders if my inferences make me an inferius?
