IIRC, some of the speculation that Hagrid was in Hufflepuff was based 
on the fact that when he and Harry are on the train to London, Hagrid 
is knitting a large, canary yellow something-or-other.  Canary yellow 
is Hufflepuffs color.  Far-fetched, I know, and wrong, as it turns 
out, but we have been known to grasp at even flimsier straws.
