MuggleNet - Godrics Hollow Theory.

In one of the Mugglenet editorials, Hermyone62442 has a theory that
for stated reasons, the Secret Keeper Charm that protected the Potters
at Godrics Hollow was broken. Now that in and of itself is not new, I
too have a theory that the charm was broken but for different reasons
than Hermyone62442.

"The Obsolete Secret" 
http://www.mugglenet.com/editorials/theburrow/hermyone01.shtml

But here is the curious aspect, Hermyone62442, and a person she
references named Brandon, believe that the charm became obsolete when
the Potters died. However, here are a few key quotes that make up the
thrust of this post.

"Brandon also reminded us that, undoubtedly, a full day had passed
before Hagrid retrieved Harry from Godric's Hollow."

"I think the Potters' murder did dissolve the Fidelius Charm, but -
for some reason - it didn't end abruptly. It needed 24 hours to fully
disappear."

Now my theory and apparently everyone else's has been that the Potters
were killed, moments later Hagrid and Sirius arrive on the scene,
Hagrid took Harry away, and 24 hours later, Hagrid delivers Harry to
Privet Drive. The big question has always been, where was Harry during
that 24 hours? 

This particular NEW theory says that Harry lay in the rubble for 24
hours while they waited for the Secret Keeper Spell to disolve. That
means Hagrid is coming directly from picking up Harry when he arrives
at Privet Drive. That might have some merit if we can assume that
Godrics Hollow is in southern Wales. 

I just can't picture Harry lying in the rubble with no food or water
for 24 hours. That means that the mysterious Missing 24 hours that we
have all speculated about is not missing at all. I think this essay
may have so merit in speculating that the spell was broken, but I just
can't accept the alteration to the standard assumed timeline.

Any thoughts?
