Very good theory, but I have a couple of questions for people a little bit more in the known than I.  Who performed the Fidelis (sp?) charm to hide the potters?  Was it James or Lily or 
someone else?  If it was James or Lily then when they died is it possible that the charm was lifted and everybody could see GH?  Just a couple of things I am curious about.
