Excuse me if this has already been covered because I am new to the 
list.

I am wondering how Harry is going to find the place where his 
parents were killed. We know that wherever they were, because of the 
Fidelius Charm they were at a location concealed from all except the 
Secret Keeper and those to whom he told the secret. So even if 
someone came to the village of Godric's Hollow they would never ever 
find the house even if they looked for many years. Voldemort found 
them because Pettigrew, the Secret Keeper, told him. Sirius knew 
where to come when the Potters were killed because he already knew 
the secret. Hagrid came to rescue the baby Harry from the wreckage 
of the house - perhaps he already knew the secret? Or perhaps the 
Fidelius charm automatically became defunct with the deaths of the 
Potters? 

Harry has said that he wants to go to Godric's Hollow to visit the 
graves of his parents. But it would be strange if he didn't want to 
visit the site where his parents met their deaths and where he 
miraculously defeated LV. the question is, how will he find it?

There may be a simple answer to this, and I apologise again if it 
has already been discussed at length.  

I'm also wondering whether the Deathly Hallows is anything to do 
with the graveyard where James and Lily Potter are buried. 

Speculation, speculation!

Sylvia.
