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."

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?



Robert:

FWIW: Lurker idea.
Hagrid probably took Harry to Hogwarts, as someone else suggested. Harry was hit by a rebounding AK curse and has a scar as evidence. That means when Hagrid found him he must have been unconscious and bleeding from the  wound. 

After talking to Sirius and  filling him in on what Harry's  condition was, he took him to Mdme. Pomfrey, or whoever was in charge of the  school's infirmary, and there the wound was treated and closed until it was the scar DD and MM see at Privet Drive later.  There had to be an open wound in order for there to be a scar. If it was me, I would have told Sirius to back off and taken 
that injured baby straight to a healer. And Sirius, the godfather, gave up his motorcycle so Hagrid could get there as fast as possible.
