Someone else was told the secret, I reckon, who picked Harry up after hie parents were killed?

Love the fact that Pettigrew is going down and Sirius out!

Author's Response: I think I explained this in chapter 2... The situation is like this: - Voldemort's entrance into Godric's Hollow, killing of James and Lily Potter and attempted killing of Harry caused the runes that powered up the Fidelius Charm to overload, stopping it and preventing the Fidelius from appearing. - Since the Fidelius was down, Hagrid, who hasn't been told the secret, can get in easily and bring Harry out. He finds Sirius there, and Sirius gives Hagrid the motorcycle, with which the latter brings Harry to Privet Drive. - After leaving Harry at Privet Drive, Dumbledore goes to Godric's Hollow and, after ascertaining that the Fidelius is down, he starts to make repairs, but the powering rune recovers from the overload and the Fidelius reactivates, and since Dumbledore does not know the secret, he has to leave, since he can't see the house and thus can't do a thing there. - Six years later, Harry Apparates from his primary school to his parents' house at Godric's Hollow, and since he knows the secret, he has no problem to see the house. - Once there, Harry's actions make Pettigrew ineligible as the Secret Keeper for the house (the anti-rats ward), and thus the Fidelius Charm's nature changes. Now, Harry is the Secret Keeper, and since he has not told the secret to anybody, no one can get in there, save for Hedwig. Hope that cleared your doubts.
