This statrted me thinking:
certainly Dumbledore knew that Sirius is Harry's godfather, why 
didn't he say that Harry should go with him.  Sirius hadn't yet been 
accused of the muggle murders, so did Dubledore have other reasons 
for not wanting Harry with Sirius?

I guess Dumbledore reasoned that it would be simpler to hid Harry in 
a muggle house, than with another wizard.

Sorry if this is a rehash of an earlier topic.
