In addition to Frankie's point that Molly was probably making a special effort on account of Ron getting yelled at over the phone, the letter was not for Harry.  It was for Mr. and Mrs. Dursley.  True, she could have sent Errol to Harry with a note on the envelope telling Harry to give it to Mr. Dursley, but she probably didn't think that would go over very well.
