Perhaps DD wasn't tipped off before the fact, but after - and send 
Hagrid back with a time turner to get the stone.

As for why Hagrid, and why when he had Harry with him... Did Hagrid 
have any other reason to visit Gringot's?  After the fact, DD knows 
that Hagrid was at Gringott's to help Harry, so why not also arrange 
for him to do some other business there at the same time.  Nobody 
would suspect his of being up to anything since he's going with Harry 
to his vault - they just make a side trip to the other vault.

While Hagrid seems to lat many things slip, he is good a retrieving 
those things DD values the most - the stone, baby Harry... pr maybe 
Hagrid is the only one who DD can ask without being questioned about 
his own motives.
