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.


ibchawz responds:
I don't see that bringing someone to the location makes the Fidelius 
Charm pointless.  Harry could bring Neville, Luna, or whomever to 12 
GP without divulging that it was the Headquarters of the Order of the 
Phoenix.

IIRC, someone stated that LV could have pressed his nose against a 
window at the Potters' house in Godric's Hollow and not be able to see 
the Potters inside, unless the Secret Keeper told him the secret.  I 
think that the secret location of the OotP would be the same.  Someone 
could physically be at 12GP without know that it was HQ.
