Maybe Dumbledore found the place in Goderic's Hollow in the beginning that =

was going to be used for the Potters, so he knew where it was going to be 
before the charm was put on. I'm curious though as to who perforned the 
charm? (but that would negate a former home being used as a safe place 
since anyone who knew you were there before could prusumably find you 
again. ... or did Dumbledore know about it, but couldn't "find" them once t=
he 
charm had been performed, and since he no longer needed it, James gave 
DD his invisibility cloak before the charm was performed? ) 

The other thing with this is, if Grimmuld place exists, and the Black famil=
y 
knows where it is, even with the "invisible" characteristics it has thanks =
to 
Sirius' Dad, would Malfoy/Narcissa for instance still be able to find it af=
ter the 
Order started using it as headquarters? And what would they find? An empty =

house? I remember that they were saying (in SS I think it was, but maybe PO=
A 
when we learn a lot more about this) that voldermort or whomever would be 
able to peer through the windows (in this case of the Potter's) and still n=
ot find 
them without the knowledge from the secret keeper. So would the Malfoys be =

able to enter Grimmauld Place and find it empty? I would have thought the 
Kreacher would have been a giveaway of some sort to the Malfoys that 
soemthing was going on in the house, even without what he "could" have 
maybe gotten away with telling them. 

Just some thoughts
