I don't think it would offend canon if

1. Hagrid took Harry to Hogwarts
2. Dumbledore had gone from Hogwarts by the time they arrived, but
3. McGonagall was still there

I wonder though if the Ministry would have taken kindly to finding Hagrid on
the scene, given that he's not allowed to use magic. Also, would they have
let him take Harry away or would they have taken him into Ministry custody
to find him a suitable foster family, thereby bringing all of Dumbledore's
careful plans down in ruins?

I think Hagrid had gone by the time the Ministry and the reporters arrived
and even before the local Muggles turned out to see what had caused all the
bangs and flashes and a house no one had ever noticed before suddenly fallen
down in ruins.
