Sharon now:
11 o'clock - just before witching hour?
Also - not many people would be around at this time of night - so hopefully no-one would see him arrive or depart Privet Drive, because to be honest, Dumbledore certainly doesn't look "normal".  This could also be showing some consideration to the Dursley's sensibilities (just finished Jane Austen), as well as just a matter of security.
Personally, I've always had the feeling that Dumbledore very carefully timed their arrival at Sluggy's house, so arriving to collect Harry at 11 was part of a carefully timed schedule.
