I don't have a few of my books because I've loaned them to a friend so I can't check for myself -- but, couldn't the letter in question be explained another way?  Maybe its not the letter at all?  For example, could it be a letter from Dumbledore to Sirius telling him that he has asked Snape to teach Harry Occlumency and would appreciate his support in ensuring that Harry agrees to it?  Could it be a letter that Molly was drafting to Bill, which she left on the left when she went to fetch Harry?  All I'm asking is ... we don't know that its the letter right?  We're just wondering if it could be ... Maybe its not the letter but simply a letter.  Other plausible explanations for it do exist right?  (Sometimes JKR gives us details that foreshadow and sometimes she just gives us details.)
