Carol, who was also surprised that JKR didn't even know about the "missing
twenty-four hours" and hadn't thought about what DD and Hagrid were doing in
elaborate detail

THERE WAS NO MISSING 24 HOURS. 

 

What I'm not getting is why you think 

:::

Dumbledore is startled out of bed. 

"The Potters where killed 60 seconds ago by What's His Face, " McGonagall
tells him. "Little Harry survived."

"I'll send Hagrid at once to fetch the baby and meet you all at the
Dursely's in 10 minutes."

:::

 

When what makes sense is, the attack happened. Someone heard the
disturbance, reported it. People went to investigate. After all, only Peter
Pedegrew knew where the Potter's lived! Found Harry, contacted Dumbledore,
dispatched Hagrid, tried to figure out what happened, decided that there may
be old-magic protecting the boy, located the Dursely's. Sent owl to Hagrid
"bring Harry at midnight so no one sees us."  Hagrid does not say he came
directly from Godric's Hollow, it's quite likely he was keeping Harry
somewhere else (Hogwarts? His cabin?)

 

After all, no one knew the Potter's lived there but wormtail. It would take
a while to sort out what happened, find the baby, determine who he was and
what to do with him. Why is that so hard to believe?

 

The last thing that book needed in the beginning was more exposition.
