making the spell dissolve and I also agree with bboyminn when it comes to
the time line.
   

sherry now:

I believe the charm was broken, the moment Peter told Voldemort where to
find the Potters.  Once the secret keeper betrays the secret, I don't think
the charm is in effect any longer.


Violet:
  I do believe that, even though they refused to have Dumbledore as their
secret-keeper, Lily and James wouldn't refuse to have him know about their
whereabouts. Now, we know everyone thought Sirius was the Secret-Keeper so
Dumbledore didn't hear the address directly from the Secret-Keeper's mouth,
but perhaps he read it (just like Harry did in the beginning of OotP).
Having been handed the small piece of paper, he showed Hagrid as well. To
Dumbledore that wasn't a betrayal to the Potters seeing as how he blindly
trusted Hagrid (he had all the motive to do so as well) and thought it could
come in hand to have someone else on his side that knew where the Potters
were seeing as how only the Marauders knew and all of them knew that one of
them was a traitor.
   

Sherry:
I don't think Dumbledore could have shown the paper to Hagrid.  If
Dumbledore received the secret this way, I think he had to have been meant
to know it, and if Hagrid wasn't meant to know, I imagine he couldn't have
read the paper.  But my basic theory is that once the secret keeper betrayed
the Potters secret, anyone could have found the family.  and if, as Carol
believes, Godric's Hollow was Dumbledore's house which he loaned to the
Potters, he would have known where it was as soon as the secret keeper charm
died.
