Geoff:
The exact quote and location from the UK edition are:
'"Maybe he thought he could persuade 'em... maybe he just wanted 'em 
outta the way. All anyone knows is, he turned up in the village where you 
was all living, on Hallowe'en ten years ago. You was just a year old. He 
came ter yer house an' - an'"
Hagrid suddenly pulled out a very dirty, spotted handkerchief and blew 
his nose with a sound like a foghorn.'
