I sympathize since it's your favorite scene, but I suspect they chose it to 
cut because they can remove the entire invitation/Dursley-Weasley 
interaction cleanly without interfering with further plot.  Sort of the way 
they cut the entire Tom Bombadil section out of the Fellowship of the Rings 
in the film.

I think PoA may be the *best* book (from a writing perspective), but GoF is 
*so* full of good parts ... the Quidditch World Cup ... the Amazing Bouncing 
Ferret ... and, as you say, the three-handkerchief parts at the end.
