> We know that Harry's location is relatively unknown, so much that even DE's/

you think they know where to find Harry at all?

Pippin:
I think the blood protection keeps out anyone with a dark mark or an
intention to harm Harry or Petunia, and there must be additional magic to keep
wizard sightseers away as well. Since Sirius doesn't have a dark mark, doesn't
want to hurt Harry and isn't a casual visitor, the magic wouldn't see him as
someone to keep out. But I think any wizard not barred by the spells who
bothered to learn how to read a muggle map and use a telephone directory could
find the house. <SNIP>


Alla:

Be that as it may, while the *magic* may not want to keep Sirius out if it knows about his innocence, Dumbledore certainly should have since he believed in Sirius' guilt so much and his beloved blood protection does not even include anything to protect Harry against somebody who supposedly betrayed his parents?
