Allie:

And while we're on the subject...  What do you supposed would happen 
if someone who's not the secret keeper tried to lead someone else to 
the secret location?  Suppose Snape took Lucius Malfoy to Grimmauld 
Place to show him the OoP headquarters - Lucius would not be able to 
see it, but would Snape?  What would happen if Snape left Lucius at 
the curb and actually walked up the door and opened it?  He'd seem 
to disappear?
