Hagrid in GH

My take on the 24 hour gap.

OK, in SS, the only reason the Dursley's are taking Harry to London 
is becuase it's the closest hospital from Surrey. So Surrey's gotta 
be close to London, otherwise, they would have gone to a different 
city..
Also, Hagrid said that "the little tyke fell asleep as we were over 
Bristol". If you look on a map, Bristol is in the southern part of 
England, probably about...6 hours from London. Especially by 
motorcycle. I mean, motorcycles (especially if it's meant for the 
road, considering Sirius rode it at some point), don't usually go 
faster than 100 miles an hour, and that's kinda scary to be riding 
on. With a child, Hagrid would not dare ride more than 40 miles an 
hour, if that, and it would take roughly 7 hours to get from GH to 
Surrey.
The other thing is, and you can't forget this, Dumbledore would have 
had to locate the Dursley's, assure himself that Sirius Black was a 
complete traitor (which would be accomplished by the lovely show 
Peter and Sirius put on in the middle of that street on Nov. 1st), 
and as always, make sure that Harry would never be found by Death 
Eaters or Voldemort himself (Dumbledore would have to make sure that 
Voldemort was gone, too.).
McGonagall was sent to the Dursleys in the morning. Remember, she can 
apparate. But who taught her classes? 
Harry was probably in Hogwarts for the morning, just to sort out a 
solid plan before taking him somewhere that is not safe. Remember 
that Hogwarts is the safest place to keep something. Or someone.
Another thing is the idea of keeping a cool, calm and collected 
manner. Hagrid was probably told not to leave until 5 or so, until 
the students were at dinner and would not see Hagrid flying a 
motorcycle off the grounds with a child. 

But watch, Godric's Hallow is actually in America, and the whole 24 
hour thing is just the time-difference. Hehehe.

Actually, one thing is bugging me. How did Hagrid get to GH before 
Sirius? He can't apparate or anything...
