Mandy here:
 Not necessarily so.  As you say, Godrick's Hollow was under the 
Fedalius Charm and Remus thought, at that time, that Sirius was the 
Secret Keeper, but we saw in OotP that the secret password could be 
passed on from the Secret Keeper using a piece of paper.  So it could 
theoretically be possible for Remus to have the Secret to revealed to 
him on paper without knowing the Sirius and Peter had switched, 
giving him access to the house.   

Or couldn't Remus have been outside the house talking with James and 
Lily when LV showed up out of the blue?  That would depend on if the 
house and grounds were protected under the Fedalius Charm or just the 
house itself. 
Cheers, Mandy
