>> I'm sure you will point out that Sirius /was/ on the
scene to take Harry, and once again, I will point out
that Sirius cooperated with Hagrid taking Harry. He even
assisted Hagrid by giving him his motorcycle. That
implies that Sirius is giving permission for Dumbledore
to take control of Harry. Perhaps he only intended that
to be temporary, and if Sirius hadn't got himself thrown
in jail, he could have come out at a later date and tried
to assert his right as designated guardian.

You ask if Dumbledore waited for the Potter's Will to be
probated? Do you really think that would be resolved is
five or ten minutes after the crime? Of course, not.
Harry needed care immediately. Dumbledore took on the
role of that care and he did so with the implied
permission of Sirius. Further, no one was going to
immediately turn Harry over to Sirius when Sirius was a
suspect in the killing of the Potters. >snip< <<


And if I might jump in - while Sirius was clearly concerned 
for Harry, I do believe he was too fixated on finding Peter 
the traitor to be able to give the injured baby his full 
attention.  I believe this also jives with his behaviour in 
PoA, when he tries repeatedly to enter the boys' dorm to get 
to Peter, despite the risks - this is a very singleminded man...
