The spell hides a *secret*. If it's someting which is common
knowledge, it might not work.

Take the Potters secret. It wasn't that the location of the house was
hidden, it was that they were there hiding. so someone could find the
house, they just wouldn't know (and appreantly see) that there were
there.


For 12 Gimmauld place, It's possible that there were two spells in
place.
1: Fidelius Charm for the location of the order
2: Obscurity charm that would only show the place that knew the
location of the order.

I seem to recall that it would hide someone peeping in the window, but
what if they went into the house and sat in the same chair?

My example of "harry potter exists" to make him invisible wouldn't
work, because that isn't a secret. That he is hiding at hogwarts might work.
That he is hiding on earth? The question of course, is how far can the
magic go? It *is* magic after all.
