You want a Fidelius plot hole? How about asking why Voldemort didn't 
hide at least one of his Horcruxes with a Fidelius? Surely he knew 
the charm. If he makes himself the SK, someone trying to find it is 
caught in a catch 22. Voldemort isn't going to tell, so the only way 
to find it is to kill him and hope to get the secret out of someone 
else who knew it. Except you can't kill Voldemort while he has the 
Horcrux, so you have to eliminate the Horcrux first.

For a guy that operates in secrecy, I'd have thought this would have 
been a no-brainer. But then, I guess that was exactly what Voldemort 
turned out to be, a no-brainer.>>>

Mike,

Voldemort could never have cast a Fidelius charm because he was not capable I think of trusting anyone. (Which is also a problem Dumbledore and Harry share to a lesser degree). To cast a Fidelius you need to trust that the person will protect your secret. That is why family is best, but James and Lily did not really have any family, so they had to trust friends, and they picked the wrong one. Were they afraid that Lupin would betray them if someone discovered his secret and used it against him?

 Peter's betrayal is a betrayal of trust. Now if Voldemort had been capable of love and thus capable of trust, the Fidelius idea would have worked. >>
