Sirius Secret Keeper? (was: Re: Dumbledore's Spies)

After reading KathyK's second post(and discussing it with her 
offline), I agree that Peter was probably the lone secret keeper.  
So, unless someone else is as dense as me, I don't think there is a 
debate concerning the secret keeper issue anymore.  This side track 
discussion of secret keepers has been very interesting (and for me, 
downright educational), however, my original post (way back when) was 
about DD having a spy at the Potter's house that fateful night which, 
regardless of how the secret keeper worked, is still a definite 
possibility.  

Spying is in DD's nature, the origin of the invis cloak is still a 
mystery, and I am just trying to figure out how to explain the speed 
of Hagrid's response.  I mean, come on, Hagrid was the first one on 
the scene.  Hagrid!  The only way to explain Hagrid being there first 
without a spy network is if (and this is possible) no one (muggle or 
magic) was willing to go near the Potters destroyed house.  Hagrid, 
being the fearless dodger that he is, may have been the first person 
with the guts to wade through the wreckage.      

Still, DD sent Hagrid to go get Harry (see Hagrid's description of 
getting Harry in PS/SS) which suggests he knew Harry was alive.  
How?  Furthermore, given the gravity of the situation, why not go 
yourself?  I mean, what was DD doing at the time that was more 
important?  Ten pin bowling?
