I have realized one thing that might be of interest or at least something to keep in mind. Harry was 15 mo. old the night of his parents demise, which means he was far less of a baby that we are assuming. The need for *feeding* and such are not as frequent as it would be for an infant. At fifteen months, a child can speak (some), walk, definately crawl and eats mostly table food, so I imagine the caring of Harry would have been relatively simple and of course Hagrid could handle it on his own. 

Also, a question as to "why didn't Lily just take Harry the night Voldemort came to destroy them, and apparate" (I'm using my own words, thats not how it came out of a post)? Do we know that anyone can apparate *with* another? If so, why didn't Arthur Weasley just take Harry and apparate away with him from the Dursley's (when they picked him up for the Quidditch world cup GoF) instead of sending him back with Floo powder? I don't think we've ever seen anyone apparated with another. Please, do correct me if I'm wrong!

Another thought has crossed my mind as well...  we all know that Professor Lupin is a werewolf and with the exception of his *mindframe* during a full moon, is quite likable.  What I'm wondering is, aren't there werewolves in the forbidden forest as well?  I seem to remember either Draco or Ron stating in exclamation, (before entering the forest), "..they're werewolves in there...".  Well, then are we to assume that when there isn't a full moon, that there are regular men walking around the forbidden forest?  I find that hard to believe with all the other monstrous creatures about!  Also, is there a spell on the boundaries of the forest keeping all the creatures inside of it or do they stay within the forrest on their own free will? 

Looking forward to all your replies!
