Arthur mentions that he asked for favours so that could be done, so it 
is entirely possible he also spoke with whomever was in charge of 
watching Harry that day, advising him or her that Harry was going to be 
rescued and that magic would be done, but that he'd take responsability 
and obliviate any memories that needed it. We have had proof of such 
deals within the MoM before, and many listees feel unconfortable with 
them (I haven't formed an opinion myself yet, but I also tend to 
dislike such "favours" dealings).

Hope that helps,
