I made this remark less for L.O.O.N.-iness, but because it could be important that Harry's birthday is 31 July, only we don't know it yet. And the other thing that bothers me about it is that Hagrid has to accompany him to the train station and then simply leaves him there because he "gotta go"- that's nothing Hagrid would do. Of course he has to, following the logic of the story, because otherwise Harry wouldn't meet the Weasleys. But it simply doens't fit into hagrid's character.
