I hope this has not been discussed before and I completely missed it. 
I was wondering about the time line of the night James and Lily 
were killed.  If you can accept the known "truth" that sirius is the 
secret-keeper (ie, everyone thinks HE is...no one knows they've 
switched to Peter), then what happens in the hours/days after the 
murders makes no sense.  Iirc, the only way the potters could be 
found is by betrayal by the secret-keeper (Sirius).  It seems to me 
that the moment they are found dead, every witch/wizard that knew 
them would be looking for Sirius.  However, not only does Hagrid 
arrive in time to rescue Harry from the rubble, Sirius loans him the 
motorbike to deliver Harry to safety.  Also, weren't Dumbledore and 
McGonagall there?  It just seems to me that no one put 2 and 2 
together at the scene based on the info they had.  Does anyone have 
any thoughts on this?
