First, by way of pointing out the flaw in this plan, let
me ask, is anyone immune from the Fidelius Charm? Further,
do people other than the Secret Keeper actually forget
the secret information, or are they simply unable to
reveal it to anyone. 

For example, many people know about the existence of the
Black Family House. The Blacks were at one time a 
prominent wizarding family. They must have had parties,
they must have had guest and family stop by. So, have
Bellatrix and Narcissa completely forgotten about the
existence of the Black House, or are they simply and
subconsciously prevented from talking about it? 

Next, and regarding immunity, once Voldemort assigns
and consecrates the Secret Keeper, does he himself
then forget the secret? Or...does he remember the 
secret, but is prevented from revealing it? 

Further, would the presents of a Secret Keeper Charm
only protect the secret or would it protect the object?
In other words, is there anything to prevent Harry from
discovering the secret location on his own and going 
there? 

Some will say that the Black House couldn't be found,
but was that unique to the nature of the secret aspect
of the Secret Keeper Charm that was created for that
specific circumstance, or are we seeing an aspect
common in all Secret Keeper Charms? Or... are we seeing
a secondary aspect of charms that have existed on the
house for many years before the Secret Keeper Charm
was created? 

I just don't see the Fidelius Charm as being all that
common in the wizard world, and I see it as having 
enough conflicting aspects to make it inadvisable for
Voldemort to use it to protect the Horcruxes. 

But then, that's just my opinion.
