Those paragraphs are in my book... I just re-read that actually and I know
it's in my copy (the US copy).

** Hi, everyone!
** 
** Yesterday, I bought a copy of CoS in Portuguese. I've read 
** all the books in English (UK edition), and now I want to 
** read them in my mother tongue (mainly to complain about the 
** translation :-) ). But, then, to my complete astonishment, 
** I've found that my British edition may be missing a couple 
** of paragraphs! 
** 
** In chapter 5 (The Whomping Willow), right after Ron and 
** Harry miss the Hogwarts Express, Ron comes up with the idea 
** of flying the Ford Anglia to schoool. In my British 
** paperback edition, he says:
**   'We're stuck, right? And we've got to get to school, 
** haven't we? And even underage wizards are allowed to use 
** magic if it's a real emergency, section nineteen or 
** something of the Restriction of Thingy ...'
** And the immediate following paragraph goes:
**   Harry's feeling of panic turned suddenly to excitement.
**   'Can you fly it?'
** However, in my Brazilian book, there are two paragraphs 
** BETWEEN the ones above. Traslating from Portuguese:
**   'But your mum and dad ...' said Harry, pushing the barrier 
** once more in the vain hope that it would give in. 'How will 
** they get home?'
**   'They don't need the car!' said Ron, impatiently. 'They 
** can Apparate! You know, disappearing here and reappearing at 
** home. They just use Floo Powder and the car because we're 
** all underage and don't have a license to Apparate.'
** Can anyone tell me if you have these paragraphs in your 
** books? They make sense to me, as I suppose Harry would be 
** concerned about stealing the Weasley's ride home and it's 
** the first time anyone ever mentions Apparating. And, as bad 
** as the Brazilian translation may be, I don't think they'd go 
** around making paragraphs up.
** 
** Thanks,
** Andrea
