| Dec 2, 2020 at 18:01 | comment | added | J. Mini | I think that I'm forced to accept this, but in confusion. I've recently discovered that Chapter 12 of Deathly Hallows tells us that the house has been hidden to muggle eyes for a very long time, implying that Fidelius wasn't responsible for hiding it. Despite this, the house becomes visible to Harry once he learns the Fidelius-protected secret, implying that Fidelius was responsible. I think I'll ask a new question. | |

(in fact, the suspicious absence of the house from plain view should actually be telling on its own and is thus rather harmful regarding the protection of the secret... (unless the Order has all other possible candidates for their HQ equally Fidelius'd)) | |

| Nov 19, 2020 at 14:46 | comment | added | tbrookside | @J.Mini Harry could not see the house, but wizarding world structures around London appear to be hidden by default if you do not know where they are. Bellatrix would have known of the existence of 12 Grimmauld Place merely by virtue of being a Black. We don't have any indication that the Fidelius Charm can make anyone forget knowledge they previously possessed. | |
| Nov 19, 2020 at 14:07 | comment | added | J. Mini | I'm unconvinced. It's clear from the chapter that contains the bit that you've quoted that Harry could not see the house until he had read the secret. From that, we can easily infer that the secret covers the existence of the house as well as the fact that it's The Order's headquarters. In other words, it's clear that the exact words don't tell us everything. | |
