I think they also needed some time to heal his wounded head (surely Hagrid
couldn't do it himself). I guess that when Hagrid took Harry to a mediwitch
she insisted on feeding and bathing the boy. After that Harry needed some
sleep, and of course another bath and some food later. Even if Hagrid did
want to bring Harry to the Dursleys the same night the Potters were killed,
he might not be able to do so (whould *you* let a half-giant to wake up such
a poor little boy or take him away without a proper meal?). And I imagine
that  placing infants on tresholds is not a  kind of thing you do in broad
daylight, even in magical world...
There's one thing I can't understand, though - why Dumbledore didn't talk to
the Dursleys? Why did he only leave the letter?
