Hickengruendler:

In reality, yes. However, as the first chapter in PS informs us, the 
story begins on a Tuesday. It is Tuesday evening, when Hagrid and 
Baby Harry finally arrive at Privet Drive (after having done who 
knows what ;-) ), therefore it was on a Monday, when James and Lily 
died. But I don't think it matters much. JKR quite obviously doesn't 
care for dates.
