<SNIP> And even less possible that Ollivander, Luna, and was it Dean? could have 
been let in on the secret <SNIP>.

Sharon:
well there goes MY theory -- LOL. I just posted that I thought the Fidelius Charm 
was put on Shell Cottage when they were all flying with Harry from Privet Drive.  
However, Ollivander, Dean and Luna couldn't have been able to get in, so you are 
right that it does seem to be a true inconsistency.

It is possible that elves can overcome the charm, and maybe Voldemort just didn't 
realise it?  After all, Voldemort wouldn't have had much time for house-elves, them 
being lesser beings and all, and so wouldn't have taken the time to learn anything 
about their magic. Still, it's a long shot.
