"The only person who says he has had it snapped is Hagrid - and him being
expelled is the only thing he gets uncomfortable about talking about. Even
after his name was cleared - they still didn't like to ask him, AND -
we never get told about him having a new wand for his teaching job."

Yes but the question is who would have done the snapping of the wand? I
would guess it would have been Professor Dippet, who was headmaster when
Hagrid was expelled, and I cannot see him failing to do it.

"His Umberella manages to
A) Turn Dudleys arse into a pigs backside - complete with tail.
B) Speed up the trip across sea with the rowing boat
C) Open the doors to Diagonalley (My guess is a normall stick couldn't
do this)
D) Increase the size of Pumpkins to taller than Harry - with a 'Standard
Engourgement charm'"

He has had 50 years of use with his snapped wand. Ron does not even get
a year. Even by the end of that he is getting more used to using it. If
he could not do some simple spells with it by the time they go looking
for the chamber then he would have taken Lockhart's wand rather than his
own. I guess that Hagrid only has to do a limited number of spells with
his wand and has had many years to perect them. This maybe why turning
Dudley into a pig did not work.
