But allowing people to bring someone in is a security problem _in and
of itself_. The whole point of the fidelius charm is so that you don't
have to trust everyone who's told the secret. After all, if someone
who's not the secret keeper could bring anyone they want to the
location, the secret wouldn't have to be revealed to bring Voldemort
to Godric's Hollow (which also tells us that if this were possible
people wouldn't be assuming Sirius [as the secret keeper] was
responsible for this happening)

If anyone can bring anyone to the location, the Fidelius charm becomes
absolutely pointless.
