Has anyone asked how Harry is supposed to find his parent's house? If the Potters were in hiding and Peter Pettigrew/Wormtail was the secret keeper, then he still is the secret keeper. he always will be.

My question, then, is: Was Harry aware of his location when his parents were killed? Because if he was (which is not probable) then he's fine to go to Godric Hollow. However, if he is not, then everyone around him is sworn to secrecy and cannot tell him where that location is. Harry must seek out Pettigrew and have him reveal the location. Nobody else can reveal it. If this is the case let's hope Peter has kept his head about him and has stayed alive.

Perhaps Godrick's Hollow's location, was not the secret, just the fact that the Potters were actually there (don't have the books handy, so can't look it up).  Perhaps everyone thought they were supposed to be in Bulgaria or something.  At any rate, Harry was found there presumably, so by then the secret was out.  IIRC, we still don't have details of what happened after Voldemort's curse backfired, and how Hagrid ended up with Harry.  But Peter still owes Harry a favor, and I'm guessing that will be a big part of the climax in bk. 7.  I hope JKR doesn't waste that favor on Peter telling Harry how to find Godrick's Hollow.
