Now me:
An interesting idea.  I was under the impression it was just the 
Secret Keeper who could revel the location and no one else.  

However if that's true, you could end up with a good weapon of 
imprisonment.  Lock someone up in a house, put the Fidelius Charm on 
it and throw away the key. As long as the prisoner can't get out, 
they'd be stuck in there forever. A rather good kidnapping tool don't 
you think?
