'But I'd had me orders from Dumbledore, an' I told Black no, Dumbledore
said Harry was ter go ter his aunt an' uncle's. Black argued, but in the
end he gave in. Told me ter take his motorbike ter get Harry there.'
--PoA ch 10

Pippin:
It is like the kindertransport in WW2 where loving German Jewish 
families sent their children to an uncertain fate in Britain. Most of
the children were treated well but some weren't. Still they were 
safer than they would have been in Germany.

Pippin:
If that was the case DD would have warned Hagrid, but Hagrid didn't
know. More likely Voldemort had planted additional evidence blaming
Sirius because he wanted the real spy to be able to continue in his useful
role.
