Ahem.  At the risk of annoying the longer-term members of this board, 
may I remind you that there *is* at least one theory out there about 
the missing 24 hours which has parties more actively *doing* things 
during the 24 hours, rather than just lying low (though I'll grant 
lying low is definitely a possibility).  And the theory hasn't been 
debunked by HBP.  Well... at least, as long as one comes out of HBP 
still believing in DDM!Snape, it hasn't been debunked....

Anyway, it's called DRIBBLE SHADOWS, and the gist of it is that the 24 
hours was filled with a bit of a side trip by Hagrid w/ Baby Harry, to 
wherever Snape was at the time, and that he (Snape) provided some 
additional protection for Harry before Hagrid continued on to Little 
Whinging.  My contention is that DD did not truly believe Voldy to be 
gone for good, and he wanted to do *anything* he could to provide 
additinal protection for Harry.

One thing I like about this theory is that it nicely explains why both 
DD & Hagrid have always *trusted* Snape.
