Carol:
Or Dumbledore, who had known where they were before the spell was
placed but had fogotten once Peter had been made Secret Keeper
suddenly remembered the address again--and knew the spell had been
broken. He would have sent Hagrid immediately to find out what had
happened, rescue Harry if he was still alive, and prevent Sirius from
claiming him as his godfather. (Presumably Hagrid wasn't told that
Sirius was the supposed Secret Keeper, or he would never have borrowed
"Sirius his bike" or tried to comfort him.) Sirius would have found
out in the same way as Dumbledore, suddenly remembering the address
that had been wiped from his memory. As for Lupin, either he hadn't
been told before the Fidelius Charm was placed, or he was too
grief-stricken to anticipate Sirius's next move, or despite the
calendar, which says the full moon fell on October 13 that year, he
was in werewolf mode.

Carol, blushing because she just realized that her earlier post on
Lupin referred to the full moon for October 19*91*--ten years after
Godric's Hollow. (No doubt the blunder has been pointed out to me but
I haven't caught up on posting.) Well, at least I can spell "canon"
correctly. :-0
