>>>Now one thing we know is that Hagrid was relatively close by, since
he took Harry to Dumbledore on Sirius' motorcycle.<<<<<

Actually, since the Potters' death happened on Halloween, Hogwarts
school year was already in session. Hagrid would have been at Hogwarts
in Scotland, we might assume, but have apparated or "flown" to Godric's
Hollow in Southern Wales, quickly enough to rescue Harry from the ruins
of the Potter home BEFORE the muggles got there. Dumbledore must have
gotten the news pretty quickly to dispatch Hagrid overnight. We aren't
told whether Sirius lent his motorcycle to Hagrid at Hogwarts or if
Sirius was in Wales near the Potter home when Hagrid got there.

I wonder where Dumbledore was, (and where Hagrid was for that matter)
and what he was doing, during the entire day after the Potters' death,
since he didn't show up at Privet drive until after the Dursleys were
in bed. Probably 24 hours passed between the Potters' death and Harry's
delivery to Privet Drive.
