See this is where I start to get confused.
"Nose against the window". So THIS person can see a house just not 
who is in it. Those who haven't been told the location of the HQ 
can't see the house.

I'm guessing that it all depends on precisly how the secret itself is 
worded. The Potter's secret only hid THEM since from what Flitwick 
said it did not neccessarily hide thier HOUSE. The HQ IS a house and 
so the whole thing becomes hidden. That's the best I can come up with 
so far.
