The Mystery of Hagrid Returning the Motorbike to Sirius

I received my adult-version UK Harry Potter paperbacks last night, 
and started reading PS.  When I got to the part when Hagrid, after 
delivering Harry to Dumbledore on Privet Dr., is ready to depart, I 
was surprised that instead of his saying "I've got to get this bike 
back to Sirius" (as my US copy reads), he instead says "I've got to 
get this bike put away." 

I've long wondered about the inconsistency in Hagrid's saying that he 
has to get the motorbike back to Sirius in SS with Hagrid saying in 
PoA (at the Three Broomsticks) that Sirius had given him the bike and 
told him (Hagrid) that he (Sirius) wouldn't need it anymore.  This 
inconsistency is also noted in the HPfGU FAQs Mysteries section.  

I checked the page on the Lexicon that shows the differences between 
the US and UK editions of SS/PS, and this wording change is not 
noted.  So I'm wondering if this was an error that was noticed after 
PoA and corrected in later printings of PS.

Perhaps this wording change is an acknowledgement that this really 
was an error in the original edition of SS/PS.

(btw, I checked my new UK CoS and Voldemort is the last remaining 
*descendant* of Slytherin.)
