"If you want to logic me, then explain why the Potters didn't make James the Secret-Keeper? Would have made more sense for the people who are actually hiding to be the Keepers of their own secret! Of course it's entirely possible that there are other conditions for casting the ritual that precluded this"
In HP I believe Bill was said to be secret keeper for Shell Cottage and Mr. Weasley for the burrow. It was mentoined after dobby gets the kids out of the Malfoys place. I have no problem with characters altering spells to their needs. There is evidence of that in canon, this is hardly some drastic change.
