RB: 
I couldn't find the passage in a quick look through SS/PS, but I 
thought I read that Hagrid told Harry (Dumbledore, maybe) he got to 
the house before the muggles did, and while he was there Sirius 
arrived and loaned Hagrid his motorcycle.  Does anyone else remember 
this?  Or is it movie contamination?

This may be the answer.  Each book has gotten more detailed, so JKR 
may not have thought this through as much as we have.  Afterall, she 
didn't have dozens of people debating each point for her <g>.
