This would perhaps explain why James and Lily couldn't be their own 
secret keepers.  If someone can't see you because they haven't been 
told the secret, how can you tell them?  Someone who is not being 
hidden must tell them.

Dumbledore is able to be the Order's secret keeper because it is the 
house, not DD who is being hidden.

My questin is how Dumbledore, Hagrid, and anyone else knew where the 
house was?  Hagrid had to be let in on the secret to be able to get 
Harry after the attack, but Hagrid didn't really know much in terms 
of details.

Did PP give Serius a series of notes to give to the appropriate 
people telling them where J&L were hiding?  If he didn't, how did 
they know where to find them?
