Though I have a plot-hole of my own that I thought was fixed with the removal of graham. How did Graham find Hayate in the first place? I don't believe this was ever explained. Especially before her "powers" were even activated.
How does she pay for medical bills? Food? Electricity? Water? The ability to pay off officials who would either ship her off to an orphanage or foster family, or assign her a caregiver? Japan, more than most countries, is fairly in touch with making sure kids have guardians(or at least going to school). Even Fate needed a guardian once she lost Precia. If she has enough money to pay for all that, then she's relatively rich, and should have a butler or maid or something. Beyond that, Ishida would be duty-bound to report that Hayate is living alone.

And Graham found her because he was tracking the book. Given magic is involved, it is not hard to see him with the drive and the ability to find it.

On Earth? in Japan? What Japanese child in Japan, in the Nanoha series, lived alone? Hell, even in Mid-Childa, Erio and Caro were taken to shelters. Japanese ideals and social/cultural aspects tend to find themselves woven into even off-world human societies.
