Ever since this thread started, I've been getting the inkling this must have 
something to do with what happened at Godric's Hollow and with James and Lily 
(that is the big JKR fueled rumor on OoP, after all) I think Dumbledore is 
about to spill the GH Every Flavour Beans, missing 24 hours and all.  But 
what about Hagrid?  Did he see something more than Baby!Harry and a blown up 
house?

Maybe late, late Book 6, or more likely early Book 7. You have to remember 
that DD is the only thing keeping Voldie and the DE's from attacking Hogwarts 
directly. I don't know if Harry is really ready to defend an actual castle 
full of hysterical students yet.
