Hi, me again with a request for some additional help.

Could all you kind souls help my by checking various copies and
versions for the first reference to Sirius in PS/SS?


My paperback Scholastic US vession pg 18 goes as follows-

"Borrowed it, Professor Dumbledore, sir," said the giant, climbing
carefully off the motorcycle as he spoke. "Young Sirius Black lent it
to me. I've got him, sir."


That is the only other reference that I know of to Sirius Black in the
first book, and is about two paperback pages away from the place where
Hagrid speaks of returning the motorbike.

Seems odd when the pages are so close together that it was necessary
for Hagrid to mention Sirius by name the second time.

Thank again.
