Secret-Keeper

I just finished DH again. I remember the thread about the Secret-Keeper and how was Hermione able to bring Yaxley(?) to Grimmauld Place when Dumbledore was the Secret Keeper. On page 90 they talked about this.
 
"Mr Weasley explained that after the death of Dumbledore, their secret-keeper, each of the people to whom Dumbledore had confided Grimmauld Place's location had become a secret-keeper in turn." 
 
I wasn't sure if there was still a question about that, but it seems that any of the Order would be able to bring anyone there. Also, speaking of secret-keepers....when Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dobby, Griphook, Ollivander, etc all left to go to Shell Cottage, you find out that Bill was the secret keeper there. How was Harry, Dobby, etc able to get there? Bill had not told them where it was. Of course, I understand how Ron got there. I would assume that even if there was a fidelius charm on the place, those who already knew about the place, like a family member, would be able to get there. But Harry had not been there before. I could understand Harry being able to get through the fidelius charm at the Burrows as that was like a second home to him, but how did he get to Shell Cottage if he didn't aprirate with Ron?
