Well, here goes.<BR>
<BR>
You know how the DE's have the marks on their arms
that let them know who <BR>
You-Know-who is near by? Do you think that it is
possible that witches and <BR>
wizards that are close to one another have that same
capacity? To know <BR>
instinctively when something is wrong? That kind of
psycic link to one <BR>
another?<BR>
<BR>
On another hand, going on the assumtption that Voldy
was atttacking a lot of <BR>
people, and assuming that James and Lilly were among
the stronger of those <BR>
that were fighting him, do you think it possible that
Sirius, being their <BR>
best friend, knew 'instinctively' that something was
going on, and warned <BR>
Dumbledore? Warned him that things were shaky, and he
should probably do <BR>
something ASAP?<BR>
<BR>
Or maybe they had a clock, like the weasleys have?
Maybe Dumbledore has one <BR>
with all his close friends on it, so that would have
told him that James and <BR>
Lilly were dead. Hence he could have assumed straight
away that Harry was in <BR>
danger, and sent Hagrid to fetch him.<BR>
<BR>
OTOH Dumbledore is a strong enough wizard to be able
to feel the power of <BR>
what happen when Harry was attacked by You-know-who
and retalliated. It had <BR>
to have been a huge thing, and we all know that it
was!<BR>
<BR>
As to the timetable.......... Well, the wizards
couldnt really leave Harry <BR>
on the doorstep during the day time, with the
Dursleys and their neighbours <BR>
around. They had to wait for nightfall for cover. But
who is to know what <BR>
Hagrid did with Harry during those hours. Maybe he
took Harry as far away <BR>
from the scene as possible, and recouperated for a
while (cause we all know <BR>
how affectionate Hagrid can be; he might have sat
there cooing over Harry <BR>
for a while). But for some reason i dont think that is
feasible <BR>
either.........<BR>
<BR>
Or maybe they used this time to discuss what was to be
done with Harry? *I <BR>
think i have sussed it blokes!!!* What if all
that time was spent in deep <BR>
discussion and action about what was to be done with
the boy. It couldnt <BR>
have been an easy decision to decide to leave this
amazing child who just <BR>
defeated an ultimately powerful dark wizard with
Muggles who knew nothing <BR>
about magic. Sirius cant have been involved as he was
chasing after <BR>
Pettigrew at the time. But a bunch of
people......perhaps the 'old crowd' <BR>
were organising the spells to put in place at Privet
drive, and ways in <BR>
which they could protect Harry through the ten years
he had to wait until he <BR>
could be safe at Hogwarts. Hagrid could have either
taken Harry to these <BR>
discussions, or been instructed to take him somwhere
safe and quiet to wait <BR>
instructions. Then they could have told him to meet
them at Privet drive at <BR>
the appropriate time, allowing for the three people
present to arrive at <BR>
different times. McGonagall to unknowingly suss out
the street ( ie in PS <BR>
"And i dont suppose youre going to tell me why
here, of all <BR>
places?..............you cant find two people who are
less like us." Hagrid <BR>
to bring Harry, and DUmbledore to oversee.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
What do we think about that???<BR>
<BR>
Danika Longbottom.<BR>

I think you are probably right about the 'Old
Crowd'theory. They would have to put down some
protection for him. Sofie
