Well, who inherits the Black Family Estate has been discussed at
length here and in other groups. If you find it interesting, try using
the search feature, such as it is, to find out more. Several very in
depth discussion have occurred.

On your first point about the Black house prior to Dumbledore Fidelius
Charm, I'm sure the house was still well hidden, but possible to find.
I'm sure rich people like the Blacks occassionally entertained their
friends, held parties, had people over for tea, etc.... So, while the
house was hidden, it was not impossible to find. Wizards who knew
about the house, family, and friends had no trouble getting there or
getting in. 

Now, that it is headquarters to The Order, I think Dumbledore has
strengthen the security considerably.  So, even those people who
previously knew about the house, could no longer find it.

Since we are on the subject, there are several members of the Black
family or in-laws amoung the DE's. THEY do know that Sirius is dead.
With the last pro-Dumbledore Black family member gone, and the last
decendant of the Black family line gone, I wonder if it will suddenly
occur to them that the old Black Manor house would make a good
headquaters for Voldemort. It would seem a far more perfect house for
Voldemort than for Dumbledore. 

Wouldn't that be a strange twist in the plot?

Just a thought.
