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."

Berit replies:

The UK Edition (Bloomsbury) is more or less identical:
"'Borrowed it, Profesor Dumbledore, sir,' said the giant, climbing 
carefully off the motorbike as he spoke. 'Young Sirius Black lent it 
me. I've got him, sir.'" (p. 16)

As you already know, the Bloomsbury edition does not mention Sirius's 
name twice; Hagrid only says "I'd best get this bike away" when he 
leaves Privet Drive. I consider the UK edition as more "canon" than 
any other edition I must say :-)
