Mike:

I've had this whimsical thought ever since JKR mentioned that we would 
see the motorbike again. (Can't give you the reference, heard 2nd or 
3rd hand). My thought was that after all the hullabaloo was over in 
book 7, Harry will have decided to settle in Godric's Hollow and fix 
up the house. First he has to pick up some things at 4 Privet Dr. As 
he's walking out of the house, Hagrid shows up on the motorbike and 
offers Harry a ride to G.H. Perfect symmetry to Harry's arrival in 
book 1, completing the circle. <g> Well, I like it.
