Clues from the Sorcerer's Stone - Does 1945=1997 ? (Part One)

No: HPFGUIDX 131001

Doing my own pre-HBP rereads, it strikes me again as odd that if the 
baby HP is in soooooo much danger that he needs to be with the 
Muggles, why on earth would they leave him on the doorstep all night?
DD left, McG left, Hagrid left, and HP was laying asleep on the 
doorstep all night until Petunia found him in the morning.  The 
family blood protection doesn't go into effect until she "takes him 
in" so what protected him all that night before?  Mrs Figg?? 
The Longbottoms were tortured AFTER LV disappeared, so the DEs are 
still out running around, PP and Sirius have not met up yet so why 
should baby Harry be assumed to be safe outside all night??

Ok, back to lurkdom
