| Feb 21, 2016 at 14:54 | comment | added | Janus Bahs Jacquet | @chirlu He was definitely wrong. Regardless of what the Fidelius charm was concealing, Harry was part of it. So even if it had still been intact and working spiffily, Harry would possibly be the only person left alive by then (apart from Peter) who should be able to see the house. | |
| Feb 21, 2016 at 14:52 | comment | added | chirlu | Some sentences from Deathly Hallows: He was not even sure whether he would be able to see the cottage at all; he did not know what happened when the subjects of a Fidelius Charm died. … He could see it; the Fidelius Charm must have died with James and Lily. Of course, this is only what Harry assumes; he might be wrong. | |

They should be protected as the secret no matter where they are. Moreover, all other instances of Fidelius in the books show the charm protecting a house, I don't see why the case with the Potters should be any different. | |

| Feb 21, 2016 at 4:17 | comment | added | Janus Bahs Jacquet | @ibid Well, that’s rather the problem—we really don’t know very much about how the Fidelius charm does and doesn’t work. It’s so vaguely and inconsistently described that it’s nigh impossible to tell (to the point that it’s almost on its way to becoming an SFF meme in itself). This wouldn’t contradict any of the things we actually do know about it, though. | |
| Feb 21, 2016 at 4:10 | comment | added | ibid | Except that it would contradict what we know about how Fidelius works. I would post an answer, but that would involve having to actually read through your question, something which I understandably have no time/patience to do. :-) | |
| Feb 21, 2016 at 4:06 | comment | added | Janus Bahs Jacquet | @ibid As did I; but if it was in fact their location that was being hidden, it would make perfect sense as a literal, matter-of-fact statement. | |
| Feb 21, 2016 at 4:04 | comment | added | ibid | I always understood the nose pressed against their sitting-room window to be a metaphorical remark/exaggeration. | |
