Yep, you're right. But that opens up more questions for me. Because
Sirius lent Hagrid his bike to bring Harry to the Dursleys. So what
happened here? Did Sirius not know that he was the guardian then?
Seems unlikely. Did he agree with DD that Harry would be safest at the
Dursley's especially at the beginning, because they did not know that
LV was definitely gone? Did DD already suspect Sirius of being a
traitor (as he was the secret keeper) and therefore wanted to keep
Harry away from him?

I hope so too. And now I get this vision of JKR having published book
7 and thinking it is time to sit back and start something new when a
whole storm of owls hits her home with all kinds of questions from the
people of HPfG on all kinds of nitpicking details like this one she
somehow forgot to wrap up. And that will be book 8.
