---------------
The exact wording on the slip of parchment "The Headquarters of the OotP is
located at #12 Grimy Old Place, London" is also an odd thing to me. It's not
hiding the fact there *is* a #12 Grimy Old Place, it's just hiding the fact that it's
the HQ. But when Harry reads the info, suddenly #12 appears from between
otherwise side-by-side #ers 11 and 13. Odd... Not to mention, I was also
quite shocked to learn a Secret Keeper could just write down this information.
It wasn't even solely addressed to Harry or otherwise protected (password
enchantment or such).
Another question on Fidelius (I know, the questions never end on this)-- If
someone asked Harry (or anyone else who knew but not Dumbledore),
"Where's the HQ for the Order?" could Harry *say* "Num 12, etc, etc"? Could
he physically tell someone that information? Would they understand it? Just
where is that 'disconnect' of the secret from everything else occur?
