None, that I'm aware of. James asked Sirius' to be Harry's Guardian, 
but this is a duty that he was never able to take up. Furthermore,

I tried searching the archives to make sure I wasn't going over a 
topic that's been talked to death and couldn't find anything. So, 
here goes:

Why did Sirius, who is Harry's godfather and guardian, allow Hagrid 
to borrow his motorcycle to take Harry to the Dursley's? 

-He is portrayed in the end of PoA and in GoF as wanting Harry to 
come live with him, and providing for Harry's welfare. 

-Did Hagrid tell him what the bike was for, or did Sirius not know 
until it was a fait accompli? 

-If he did know, did he think Harry would be safer at the Dursleys 
while he hunted down Wormtail, not knowing the horrible people they 
are? 

-Or did he believe he would pick Harry up as soon as Wormtail was 
caught? 

If so, Dumbledore for one seemed fairly certain that Harry would 
remain at the Dursleys' until he came to Hogwarts - and this seems to 
be before Sirius is accused of betraying the Potters. 

So, is there some deeper meaning behind this?
