Some observations and inquiries

It's interesting to read Lisa and Denise's observations on the night of Lily 
and James's death since my writing partner and I are partway working on a 
fic that gets into some of these issues.

We have decided that the Fidelius charm must function by creating a 
tradeoff: The Secret is concealed absolutely from the world, but known at 
all times to the Secret-Keeper.  If the secret is the location of the 
Potters, then wherever they were, their Secret-Keeper would know it.  This 
is why Voldemort knew to come to Godric's Hollow instead of going to James's 
hiding place, where Sirius first looked for him on the night of the murders. 
  The charm would be broken if the Secret-Keeper revealed the secret.

A yet-undiscussed issue of the wand concerns the shadow of the curse that 
rebounded from Harry and killed Voldemort.  It should have come after Lily's 
death and before Bertha's. Where is it in the Priori Incantatem scene? Is it 
the same charm that killed James?  Did the rebound of the curse on Harry 
travel back through the wand and destroy its own "carbon copy" inside the 
wand's memory?
