Well don't feel bad, I already know that I'm completly daffy and I 
agree with you here!  I KNOW (well of course I could be wrong) that 
it said Hagrid was in Hufflepuff, or else STRONGLY implied (I'm 
thinking the former as we both deduced this...)

The pasage to which you refered is this...

*******

"And what are Slytherin and Hufflepuff?"

"School houses. There's four. Everyone says Hufflepuff are a bunch o' 
duffers but-"

I bet I'm in Hufflepuff," said Harry.

"Better in Hufflepuff than in Slytherin," said Hagrid darkly...

Hagrid's "but-" could easily of been "I was in Hufflepuff." or "Your 
Dad was in Hufflepuff" (though I feel JKR has indirectly disproved 
the latter.) 

Another interesting thing is that the British Subject verb agreement 
(Hufflepuff are) is used and not (Hufflepuff is) which is the 
American way. ( and if this is wrong just remember I'm not the best 
at grammar)


Errr, anyway can anybody clear up this rather shadowy assumption that 
Hagrid was in Hufflepuff (besides the JKR chat)... I just can't stop 
think ing that it was SOMEWHERE in CoS. I shall continue to peruse 
but if anyone knows anything....
