No, most of it, as you've already pointed out, is according to Occam's 
razor. However, you've stopped at the most intresting part: What does 
Hagrid do during the day with Harry? At first, I used to think, just as 
you do, that Hagrid is perfectly capable of taking care of Harry 
himself, but a few other listees mentioned that Hagrid isn't really 
suited to take care of babies (no experience), and point out that, 
except in Norbert's case, he hasn't had much luck in taking care of 
creatures. (I don't really agree with that, but I do agree that Hagrid 
has no experience with babies, which is not the sort of thing 
Dumbledore would overlook).

Thus, when Meg suggested that maybe Hagrid had been ordered to take 
Harry to a person we know for a fact that can take care of children 
very well: Molly Weasley, I changed my own theory. It makes even more 
sense than assigning Hagrid with the task of taking care of Harry, and 
it fits the theory quite well: check post #42568 for a TBAYed, complete 
version of the theory.

Hope that helps,

Grey Wolf, who would like to ask fellow listees (especially mothers) at 
what age does a baby stop taking breastmilk.
