Me again:

Yes, I read that post.  I'm not talking about how he told LV - I 
agree LV probably made PP go with him; not necessarily to make sure 
he got it right, but to force PP to witness James and Lily's 
destruction.

What I wondor is how members of the order found out where they were.  
I would assume they had 3 or 4 options before they cast the fidelius, 
and then informed the secret keeper of that choice.  Since the charm 
was cast only shortly before they were killed, I would assume Harry 
was directly protected by it, meaning that for Hagrid to rescue him, 
Hagrid had to know the location.  That, of course, means someone told 
Hagrid where they were - yes, we know Dumbledore sent him, but since 
Dumbledore was not the secret keeper, he couldn't have told Hagrid 
where to go - just that he needed to go!

So this all begs the questions of how the order was informed of the 
location, without anyone finding out that PP was the secret keeper 
instead of SB.  We know DD wrote out the location of Grimauld Place 
to give the Harry, or he would not have been able to enter.  Did PP 
similarly write down the location of the hiding place, and then 
deliver it to everyone else, giving the impression that SB sent him?
