Allie:

Maybe Dumbledore and other people knew the general location of where 
the Potters were going, i.e. Godric's Hollow but not the specific 
address.  Dumbledore tells Hagrid, "Something terrible has happened 
to the Potters.  Go to Gordric's Hollow and see if you can find 
them/save Harry/find the Death Eaters."  The house has been 
destroyed - effectively, there is NO SECRET LEFT, since there is no 
house left.  I think this is why baby Harry could be found.  He 
could easily find the house in the village that had exploded (or 
imploded?).

Allie:

Narcissa didn't grow up there, she is Sirius's cousin, not his 
sister.  Sirius says he hasn't seen her since he was younger than 
Harry's age (at the time 15).  So IF she knew the address where 
Sirius grew up, I guess she could have planted a wizard bomb there, 
but she might not have known it.
