Oh, it's quite possible that Dumbledore already knew the location, 
and in such a manner as to protect the identity of the secret keeper 
(a note, ala #12, but typed), which could be passed on to Hagrid.

But question... Does it say anywhere that Sirius was there? I reread 
the first chapter of book 1, and Hagrid says he borrowed the bike, 
but not when. How did he get to Godric's Hollow in the first place? 
We still have to believe that Hagrid at that point hadn't put 
together that "young Sirius Black" must have been the traitor, but I 
need info that may or may not be in PoA.

It was a full 24 hrs between the attack and Privet Drive, and the WW 
knew of the defeat of LV as of that morning. The collapse of other 
wards could certainly have alerted DD to going ons, and he sent 
Minerva to Privet Drive with no explanation and Hagrid to Godric's 
Hollow. DD himself most likely spent the day handling legal matters, 
et al.
