that James and Lily switched to Peter Petigrew as sceret keeper "at
the last moment", but Sirus helped with the preparations of the their
stay in Godric's Hallow. So Sirus knew where they'd be>>>
This isn't possible. Narcissa Black must have made visits to 12
Grimmauld Place as a child - she knows it well enough to be on close
terms with the resident House Elf. From Kreacher's little Christmas
visit, Narcissa and thus Lucius -> Voldemort will have worked out
that the Order are using Number 12 as HQ. But they can't get at them
in it, or even, apparently, in the surrounding area. Narcissa Malfoy
could walk past her old childhood stomping ground a hundred times a
day, *know* that it must be there, and yet not be able to get at the
house at all without Dumbledore telling her so. Think you might be
onto something with the bit about "guessing which house it was from
the smouldering wreckage", though.
