In PoA [UK hardback, pp288-289] when Hermione uses the Time Turner, 
she not only takes Harry and herself back three hours, she also moves 
them from the Hospital wing to the Entrance Hall.
 
So if Hagrid used the Time Turner to move himself and Harry forward 
twenty four hours, why couldn't he also use it to move the two of 
them to Privet Drive? Why use the motorbike at all?
 
This idea interested me. I had always assumed that Harry and Hermione 
were transported to the Entrance Hall because that was where they 
were 3 hours previously - hence they have to move into a cupboard so 
that they don't bump into their alternate-selves. Your take on it 
allows for time - and distance travel making the Time Turner an even 
more useful tool.
