Mandy here:
But are DD Sherbet Lemons a secret?  Also, Sherbet Lemons a muggle 
candy, (McGonnigal doesn't recognize them in the beginning of PS/SS) 
so would Honeydukes even stock them?

Is a candy store (Oh, I'm becoming more American the longer I live 
here.) :-) Is a sweet shop really a strange place for a secret 
passage into a school to end/begin?  Not if it was built by the owner 
of Honeydukes themselves, to cash in on a Hogwarts black market in 
sweet trading.  Sweets and school kids are inseparable   Unless the 
point is a sweet shop would be the last place anyone would look for a 
secret tunnel?
