could put his nose right against the rubble and not see Harry.

Hannah: Hagrid was a friend of the Potters, so he may have known the 
location.  He could have been shown a piece of paper where Peter had 
written the location (so needn't have known of the switch).  I think 
that the charm was broken when the house blew up.  After all, 
muggles were alerted and 'started swarming round.'  So Hagrid 
needn't even have known.  As for DD's lack of reaction to Sirius 
being there, it's just another suspicious thing about the whole set 
up.
