OK, maybe I'm just simple, but I just assumed it was one of the umpteen 
billion unplottable unknowable security measures Sirius' dad put on the 
place. I never directly connected this to the "Secret Keeping". Is 
there some off page canon (read: interview) that says it is? I thought 
it was curious everyone expected Godric's Hollow to be invisible. I 
just have never read anything that made me think that.
