That is why there is the "missing 24 hours" theory. Because Harry is
taken from Godric's Hollow on Halloween and isn't seen again until
midnight on November 1st (or would it be the 2nd?). Something had to
be done with him during the day.

Voldemort comes to the Potter's on Holloween night, but I don't think
the time of day has been established. The next day is the day Uncle
Vernon see the cat (McGonagall) sitting on the fense and sees all the
owls and see all the wizards out running around. That night (don't
know exact time) Dumbledore visits Privet Drive and delivers Harry.

So the whole day where McGonagall the cat sat outside Privet Drive is
the missing 24 hours.

I still don't see why people can't believe that Hagrid took care of
Harry for a day. Those who claim that taking care of a baby is too
complex for Hagrid, aren't taking into account magic and house-elves.
I can easliy see Hargid taking care of the baby, but it doesn't seem
like Hagrid went back to Hogwarts. If he did go to his hut at
Hogwarts, it seems like everyone was too busy to stop by and see the
baby as I'm sure they would have done if they knew Harry was there.

Maybe Hagrid was back at his hut and just kept Harry's presents secret.

Anyway, I'm not buying another grand conspiracy theory. It seems more
than reasonable that Hagrid could take care of Harry for a day. Just
took Harry back to his hut, took care of him for a day, got on Sirius
motorcycle, flew south along the western coast of Scotland, flew just
south of Britol and turned east to Surry and Privet drive.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
