As much as I'm inclined to think the worst of Dumbledore, I don't 
think his plan was quite that elaborate. However I'm intrigued about 
how Dumbledore was the one to suggest the Fidelius Charm and wanted 
to be Secret Keeper himself. If he had been it would have been hard 
to sell out the Potters without being exposed himself.
