   Dumbledore's itinerary that day seems to have
involved 1. establishing exactly what had happened at
Godric's Hollow apparently by some means other than a
personal visit to the site. Possibly he could have
*seen* what happened magically, as it's supposed to be
possible to scry for past and present events as well
as future, (and the first two might be more reliable).
    2. Dispatch Hagrid to retrieve Harry.
    3. Decide what's to be done about Harry and
arrange the Ancient Magic necessary to protect him.
Write letter to Dursleys.
    4. Make his way to Privet Drive to wait for Hagrid
and Harry - and meet Professor MacGonagal.     As for
where Hagrid and Harry were all this time, I might
guess they were at Hogwarts or some other secure place
until Dumbledore made the necessary magical and other
arrangements.
