subject.  Why was Hagrid entrusted with caring for Harry after Voldemort
had killed Lily and James?  We know Hagrid is trustworthy, but he's not
(so far as we know) a very powerful wizard.  He doesn't even have a
proper wand.  Isn't it a bit odd, then, that he of all people was given
the charge of protecting the Death Eater's most obvious target?  We know
it couldn't be because everyone was so confident in Voldemort's defeat
that he and the DE's were no longer feared.  So, what's going on?  
 
I wrote one of the Missing 24 hour theories. See Messages 42429 and
42568 for that theory (Molly Weasley took care of Harry) and the replies
for other theories. If memory serves correctly, someone put Hagrid in a
bar for the day after Voldemort's demise. But that's just what I recall
of what went on. My theory holds that Hagrid was sent only for
retrieval. That Molly took care of Harry for the rest of the day.
Hagrid, in my opinion, only acted as a taxi service for Harry.
