Are you sure the data was moved, or was it just copied and the old
data never erased?

When you mount /dev/hda3 onto /home any files that were on /dev/hda1
under the /home mount point are no longer seen, but still take up
space.

You might want to boot into single user mode, umount /home and see
what remains under the /home mount point (directory).
