Very good point that I hadn't thought of and I think you actually 
answered your own question with your second statement.  Now that DD is 
dead the secret spell has died with him so that 12GP is now exposed.   

I don't think this means that 12GP is now 'plottable'.  I think that 
the unplottable part and its invisibility from muggles etc is part of 
magic that has been performed over centuaries by a succession of 
Blacks, but I think it means that Snape could now reveal that the 
location for the HQ of the OooP is at 12GP, whether 12GP could be 
located is another issue.  I suppose this means that Harry (or 
someone - suggestions?) will have to make a new secret to protect that 
fact at once.
