Lilian:
As to the 'we've already read about', I noticed this little snippet 
in PS/SS (UK pb ed, pg 50):

"'How did you get here?' Harry asked, looking around for another 
boat.
'Flew,' said Hagrid.
'Flew?'
'Yeah - but we'll go back in this. Not s'pposed ter use magic now 
I've got yeh.'"

Of course, Hagrid may have used a broomstick, but when questioned by 
Umbridge about his long absence from Hogwarts, he said that he could 
not use one because of his size. For the moment I'm taking this as 
evidence that he used the motorbike to get to the hut-on-the-rock, 
so it is even now most likely still in Hagrids possession (don't 
think he left it there).

Just my thoughts.

Lilian
