kmc:
He may have been expecting Sirius to be at GH.  It may be the reason 
he sent Hagrid and not someone else.  I have read these books 
numerous times and it is just now that I associated the "No problems, 
were there?" with the fact that Sirius was there.  I had read that as 
problems with the authorities, problems with the collapsed house, or 
problems with even finding Harry.

Which leads to another question?  If the Potters were being protected 
by the Fidelus charm, how did Hagrid know where Harry was?  You would 
think that the charm was still in effect and Hargid could put his 
nose right against the rubble and not see Harry.
