Angie again:
Hmmm.  Interesting.  Hadn't thought of the time-turner possibility or 
that it would be less conspicuous if Hagrid was going to the bank for 
Harry, anyway. Hagrid would probably be the last person to ever 
question DD's motives or the widsom of what he was doing, since 
Hagrid seems to be so beholden to DD and respects him so much.
