Mr. Malfoy & the Chamber of Secrets?/Hagrid

[Susan McGee]

No: HPFGUIDX 4121

I would suggest that Lucius Malfoy is at war, and when at war, one
engages in activities that are designed to create fear, terror, and
confusion among the enemy.

I would further suggest that although Dumbledore is always the target 
of Voldemort (his tirade when he confronts the DE in GoF springs to 
mind)
that Malfoy hates Arthur Weasley with malicious passion. 
This scheme might succeed in driving Dumbledore from Hogwarts, but 
the evilly delicious appetizer is that Ginny Weasley would be
disgraced (go to Azkaban?) and Arthur Weasley would be discredited.
This would allow Malfoy further ascendancy over the Ministry of Magic 
where he already has much influence over the Fudge. In addition, it 
would create fear and terror by killing some of the 
students..invoking Salazar Slytherin, the ancestor of his only 
remaining descendant Lord Voldemort....probably cause problems all 
over the place......

And why can't Hagrid get a new wand? Do wizards/witches who haven't
been to Hogwarts have wands?
