Thought about Headquarters security

I'm about to post a half-formed theory here, so please be patient.

We know that Harry didn't practice Occlumancy the way he was supposed 
to.  We know that Voldemort had enough access to Harry's mind to be 
able to present ideas to Harry.  What we don't know is whether or not 
Voldemort took advantage of the opportunity to sort through Harry's 
memories.  What if he did, and one of the memories he stumbled upon 
was Harry's memory of reading the note from Dumbledore telling him 
where to find the Order's headquarters?  

What do we know about the secret keepers?  We know that the secret 
keeper has to personally tell the secret to someone.  We know that 
Dumbledore is the secret keeper for the Order, that's why the note 
was in Dumbledore's handwriting.  Granted, this is a bit of a grey 
area, but Voldemort could would have read the message written in DD's 
handwriting, if through Harry's memory.  I realize there is some room 
here for debate, but if you'll accept for the moment that this would 
allow Voldemort access to the headquarters, we have some interesting 
possibilites here.

First of all, Voldemort would have to go to the headquarters himself, 
as no other death eater actually read the note.  He would witness for 
himself that Snape is doing *something* for the Order--I won't get 
into what.  Unless he disguised himself perfectly, Moody would be 
able to spot him.  And I'm sure there are some things I'm 
forgetting.  

So, I'd like to suggest that the final show down takes place at the 
Order Headquarters when Voldemort is discovered there spying.
