And where did he happen to run into McGonagall and tell her that 
Dumbledore would be heading for Privet Drive? She was there already 
fairly early in the morning, so he must have met up with her, oh, 
four or five in the morning? Okay, so he leaves Godric's Hollow at, 
say, eleven pm Halloween night, he flies to...somewhere, we don't 
know where, then a few hours later meets McGonagall and tells her 
about the planned rendezvous at Privet Drive but not the time, or she 
wouldn't have waited there all day, which means he must have 
encountered DUMBLEDORE somewhere before he met McGonagall to KNOW 
that Privet Drive was the place...and then what? A day of what? And 
where? 

Lots of unanswered questions. I'm getting cynical, though. Anyone 
checked any recent editions of PS/SS to see if they've just sneakily 
changed a few words around and "fixed" it?
