| Dec 5, 2020 at 14:26 | comment | added | Tode | Here we see clearly the problem of asking more than one question at once... both answers are adequate answers to ONE of your questions but did not consider the second question... the possibility to answer one without answering the other shows: this should be split in two separate questions. One about why muggles can‘t see it and one about why they fear that Bellatrix could find it... | |
| Dec 4, 2020 at 20:17 | comment | added | TimSparrow | @J.Mini as I said, she could have access to the house as a family member, which could break the Fidelius charm. That could also apply to Narcissa. Since we do not know the exact nature of the house protection, we can only speculate. Apparently, Dumbledore & Co did not know it either. | |
| Dec 4, 2020 at 19:40 | comment | added | J. Mini | If the Fidelius Charm matters to the house being visible to other witches/wizards, then why are The Order concerned about Bellatrix showing up? | |

explain why Harry fits all the requirements to see the house
|
| Dec 4, 2020 at 19:31 | comment | added | TimSparrow | @J.Mini he does not. Protections are meant against intruders; Harry is a rightful owner of this house by will of the previous owner, who was a rightful heir of the House of Black. Thus, he is NOT an intruder. And he is trusted to be accepted by the Fidelius charm. | |
| Dec 4, 2020 at 19:24 | comment | added | J. Mini | This still isn't enough. If the house has multiple layers of protections on it (as you've accepted in your explanation of the concern about Bellatrix), then why does Harry knowing the secret - something that doesn't actually mention the existence of the house - defeat all of these protections? | |
| Dec 4, 2020 at 13:46 | comment | added | TimSparrow | @J.Mini again, there is no direct explanation how the protection works, so we may only use logic and analogy | |

explained on Bellatrix ability to challenge the house protection

| Dec 4, 2020 at 13:28 | comment | added | TimSparrow | Your last paragraph is another question, Will answer that, too | |
| Dec 3, 2020 at 22:02 | comment | added | J. Mini | I can't see how this is an answer to the question. If anything, this answer only restates my premises. Please reread the final paragraph of the question, which addresses the idea that there are two layers of protection on the house. | |
