After Sirius Black's escape from Azkaban, Mr. Weasley and other Ministry employees are asked to handle the search effort.

Chapter Four Quotes
"The guards told Fudge that Black's been talking in his sleep for a while now. Always the same words: 'He's at Hogwarts...he's at Hogwarts.' Black is deranged, Molly, and he wants Harry's dead. If you ask me, he thinks murdering Harry will bring You-Know-Who back to power. Black lost everything the night Harry stopped You-Know-Who, and he's had twelve years alone in Azkaban to brood on that."

Explanation and Analysis:
Harry overhears Mr. and Mrs. Weasley talking about the fact that Sirius Black is after him and wants him dead. At this point, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley have no reason not to believe the same story as the rest of the wizarding world, which states that Black was one of Voldemort's followers. Given this belief, it's understandable that Mr. Weasley hears "He's at Hogwarts" and assumes that Black is talking about Harry. However, once Harry learns that Black is actually after Peter Pettigrew, who's spent twelve years in hiding as Ron's rat Scabbers, he realizes that Black is saying that Dolorem et quae.
