Harry’s Hogwarts letter arrives early in the morning, of July 31st. It is, of course, addressed to one Marvolo Oleander Gaunt. He wonders, absently, if there is, somewhere, a letter for Harry Potter with no address to send it to. By now, most people have given up on finding him alive. The Order is still searching, he knows that, but not many others are. Last Sirius heard on the matter, the Order was arguing on whether to have a gravestone erected near James and Lily’s, or if that would constitute giving up. Sirius escaped the discussion with a few tears and a choked-up voice, so no one has brought it up to him since.
