I love to speculate, so my official guess is that the new scene could 
be a bit of the missing 24 hours -- the conversation between Hagrid 
and Dumbledore in which Dumbledore gives Hagrid his instructions and 
writes the letter to the Dursleys.

Or perhaps it is Hagrid retrieving little Harry from the rubble at 
Godric's Hollow.  But that is less likely because I would expect to 
see Sirius give Hagrid the Motorcycle, and Sirius hasn't been cast 
yet (has he?).

Any other ideas?
