James:
Hmm, I don't think so - I doubt the Fidelius Charm works that way. It
seems to be that *only* the Secret Keeper can divulge the information
(perhaps only willfully as well). If anyone who had been told the
Secret could also go and tell it to anyone else, there would be little
point in the Charm in the first place. This is supported by the fact
that for Harry to get into Grimmauld Place, he had to read the slip of
paper from Dumbledore. If someone other than the Secret Keeper can
divulge the Secret, Moody would have simply told Harry instead of
risking writing it down and possibly having the paper fall into the
wrong hands. So I'm afraid that rather damages that part of your
theory. ^_~
