Fabian:
If the secret was where they were, they would have to communicate this to Wormtail every time they went out, it seems a bit inconvenient. I think, Harry will find the place because the magic 'wore off' or something, but you're probably right since he hasn't been told by Wormtail himself, he should not be able to.

Fabian:
I'm not sure I follow, they weren't the secret keepers in the book, but what if they were? Wouldn't that have been a much better situation than having to trust someone else?
