I've been thinking about Kreacher, and Narcissa. Narcissa Black, sister of Bellatrix and
cousin of Sirius - would certainly have known from childhood where Grimmauld Place is
located. Kreacher, by his very appearance and the nature of the information he did
provide (which suggested fairly intimate knowledge of order members), betrayed the
importance of Grimmauld Place to the DEs and LV.
Now, I know that unless Dumbledore personally tells you "where" Grimmauld Place is - you
could press your nose up against the serpent-shaped door knocker and still not see it.
But the charm extends only to the house itself, I believe. This is consistent with Tonks and
the gaurd being so cautious when out on the steps and in the square, and why the owls
are kept inside so they are not swooping around.
I also believe that, even if you do know the secret of Grimmauld Place, you can't apparate
into the house. Why else would Order members be ringing that stupid door bell all day
long? No one ever Apparated/Disapparated into or out of the house that I recall. Perhaps
it is possible to use floo powder for more than a chat, but the floo network can be watched
- and even if they cannot "see" where you exit, it would still arouse suspicions.
Now that the war is on, it seems extremely dangerous to continue to use Grimmauld Place
as headquarters - DEs lurking in the bins outside and such. Does anyone else think the
Order will move headquarters? Where to?
Caesian - who hopes it will be the nursery where Snape keeps his twins
