Hello hello!!

This is my first time replying to the message board, so let me know 
if I'm breaking any major rules or anything...

OK. Here's what I think...(and I don't know if this has been 
mentioned before cause it's hard to get caught up on all the messages 
ever written on here!!)

PoA: In the chapter where Harry is under the table listening to the 
teachers tell the tale of Black's betrayal, Hagrid says plain as 
day, "An' then he [Black] says, 'Give Harry ter me, I'm his 
godfather, I'll look after him--' Ha! But I'd had me orders from DD, 
an' I told Black no, DD said Harry was ter go ter his aunt an' 
uncle's..." 

Now...we know that the Dursley's did in fact live in #4 at the time 
of Lily's  and James'death, because that is where DD and the others 
leave him on the doorstep. And, since Sirius was James' best friend, 
we could speculate that Sirius might know where the Dursley's live or 
at least knows their names (maybe even met them at the wedding?? 
Heehee!) 

So if Hagrid did, in fact, tell Sirius that DD wanted Hagrid to take 
Harry to his Aunt and Uncle's, then this could certainly make Sirius' 
search for Harry a little easier when he escaped from Azkaban!!

Just a thought, and I have them often...so maybe you'll hear from me 
again soon!!
