DuffyPoo again:

I don't recall ever reading that Harry was prevented by magic from 
telling
someone the address of the Order, (not that it's not in there, I 
just don't
recall it), but if they did, the person couldn't find GP anyway 
because Harry is
not the Secret-Keeper. Only the Secret-Keeper can tell anyone the 
address and
have them find the place. The only people who can get into 12 GP, 
now that DD is
the Secret-Keeper are the people DD himself tells (either words or 
writing, I
presume). So, now that DD is the S-K of 12 GP, the Malfoys will not 
be able to
enter it, even if they had visited there frequently before. At least 
that is how
I understand it (which I admit, means nothing.) The only concern I 
have
regarding S-K and GP in particular is Kreacher. Did DD tell him the 
address?
If not, how does he manage to go between GP and the Malfoy 
residence? Is it
just more House-Elf brand magic?

Who are the others that know the address? Do you mean the Malfoys, 
Tonks'
parents, and the Lestranges? If that is who you do mean, I would 
expect, as
stated above, that unless DD tells them the address himself, they 
can no longer
find the place. Even though Nymphadora (what a name!) Tonks knows 
where 12 GP
is, she cannot bring Andromeda or Ted to GP because she is not the
Secret-Keeper. As above, at least this is my understanding of how it 
works.

mhbobbin:
Remember that 12 Grimauld Place seems to disappear after the gang 
walks out the door.  The Malfoys etc. may inherit Grimauld Place, 
may even know the address but they wouldn't be able to see it--it is 
absorbed by the buildings around it. The Order of the Phoenix, Harry 
and friends, seem to be the most vulnerable when they exit Grimauld 
Place as the DEs could actually see them then but Grimauld Place 
itself seems to be swallowed up by the buildings around it.
