bboyminn:

So, the only logical conclusions, unless JKR wants to 
dedicate the whole book to it, is that the Charm is
already broken, or she has some plot-line shortcut to
by-pass it. 


bboyminn:

Maybe JKR's shortcut will be for Harry to recieve an
annonymous Owl with a note that says 'Twelve Lake Street;
Godrics Hollow, Wales is the location at which the Potter
are hiding'. Snape has access to Peter, Peter knows the
Secret. Snape has Peter write a note then sends the note
off to Harry. Harry and friends read the note, bada-bing
bada-boom, everyone get to go to the house at Godrics
Hollow. Problem solved. 

This may be the first sign that Snape, nasty as he is, is
still a good guy.

jeremiah:
Thanks.
Now, you're absolutely right. there is no way to really understand the case if we aren't sure how the charm works. And you have brought up a point that I had been thinking of. Snape. See, if Pettigrew still holds the secret and he's living with Snape then here is a chance (asuuming Snape is not the bad guy some readers thing... I think he's not all bad) then this would be the one time he could reach out to Harry and show he's not a slime-ball. Handing over Peter and making his talk would be hilarious and possibly good for the plot.

But as you mentioned, there is limited space with the remaining book and this may be a major issue or it might be nothing at all and will slide right by without a mention. Heck, it might not even be a point at all if she decides to have Harry sidetracked and never end up going to Godric Hollow. (thought I hope she does let him go there... I'm very curious).

Hey, has anyone written about the correlation of voldemort being the Heir of Slytherin and Harry possibly being the Heir of Gryffindor? (JKR had mentioned the godric Hollow wasn't a coincidence... and DD said that "only a true Gryffindor" woulf pull the sword from the hat- meaning more than just being in the House).
