Okay, I wrote this on OT but Penny wisely pointed out that we should 
move the whole thread to this list (on-topic messages being against 
the rules on the OT list <G>).

Who cares?  I hope they had to swim.  <Grins too.>

You got me there.  Maybe he took a broomstick but sent it back solo 
to Dumbledore since he wasn't going to fly Harry back.  A Banishing 
charm should do it.

It's the other way around.  Dumbledore decided Hogwarts would be 
safer than Gringotts, and said, "Hagrid, you gotta go pick up Harry 
since those *&#$% Dursleys obviously aren't letting him get his mail, 
so run by Gringotts, will you, and pick me up a quart of milk while 
you're at it too."  So the question is, how did Quirrell/Voldy know 
that he'd better act now?  Because Hagrid has a big mouth and 
everyone at Hogwarts knew he was going to fetch Harry that day.  I 
wouldn't be surprised if he dropped a few hints that he was going to 
Gringotts to pick up a little package too.
