Earendil:

>From the concrete example of use of the Fidelius charm we have 
(protecting the Potter in Godric's Hollow) I believe it's possible. 
The Fidelius Charm was used to prevent anyone (apart from the secret 
keeper) from revealing where the Potter were hiding . The Charm 
isn't necessarily restricted to keep locations a secret, its use 
could be to prevent anyone from revealing a piece of information, 
generally speaking. If it were so it could be used to prevent anyone 
from revealing the location of the Order and/or the identity of the 
members. In a way it would be akin to the spell Hermione used with 
the DA members' signatures to keep their identity a secret.

However, if it was possible to use the Fidelius charm in such a way, 
I suppose Voldemort would have used it with his Deatheaters, and 
then Karkaroff would have been unable to betray them. Unless LV 
trusted all of them enough (which sounds unlikely)...

In any case it's a very interesting theory.
