bboyminn:

You are right, and the Lexicon agrees with you. I'm not sure what I
was thinking.

Quick Reference Calendar-
http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/index.html?year=1981&country=1

As you can now see, Holloween falls on a Saturday, and Tuesday is Nov
3, Guy Fawkes would be Thursday, Nov 5. 

I must confess though, even though I got the year wrong, the days of
the week worked out better using 1982.

Using 1981, would imply that Harry was deliver to the Dursleys on late
at night on Nov 3, which would imply that was actualy after midnight,
making the real date Nov 4, 1981 (Wednesday morning).

Not sure if the helps with the original question at all, but there it is.
