PS does say that Harry was wrapped in blankets: 'Dumbledore and 
Professor McGonagall bent forward over the bundle of blankets';  `He 
laid Harry gently on the doorstep, took a letter out of his cloak 
tucked it inside Harry's blankets...'

However, just because a basket is not mentioned doesn't mean it 
wasn't there, it might have been off page. The bundle of blankets 
could have been in a basket. 

But if it is not and Harry was just wrapped in blankets and left on 
the step, there have been enough images of babies left on a step in a 
basket in other books and movies for everyone to assume that there 
was a basket. Subconscious addition of something that would make more 
sense. Because have you ever left a baby, not just a baby, but a year 
old baby rapped in blankets? If you haven't, I'll tell you from 
personal experience that that baby won't stay like that for long, 
even if it is sleeping.
