James could not have been the secret keeper. They would need a way to reach the Potters in case of emergency. A lot of people believe Voldemort chose to attack the Potters. I think it more likely that Voldemort planed to kill Harry and Nevil, as the prophecy could be applied to both. Unless Dumbledore was a moron, he would have put both the Potters and the Longbottoms into hiding. Voldemort chose to attack the Potters simply because he learned their location first.
This is wrong. The secret can be known, only to the secret keeper, and those who are told by the secret keeper. Others may know the secret, but they can't reveal the secret.
Lily Potter's protection was invoked not just because she died to save Harry, but because she _chose_ to die to save Harry, having been given the option to live. Harry did the same thing in the Forbidden Forest when he faced Voldemort unarmed, even though he had a wand on his person at the time. He could have chosen not to face Voldemort; he could have chosen to fight, but instead he willingly allowed himself to be killed; the alternative being Voldemort's killing of "every man, woman, and child" who got in his way; thus, Harry conferred upon those people the same protection.
Awesome as always thanks ❤
