How old is Hagrid

I am a bit confused with the timeline -- how old is Hagrid? According to
CoS, he's about Voldemort's age -- weren't he and Tom Riddle in school
together? So how old is Voldemort? Pettigrew is James Potter's age, so
Voldemort must be a lot older than Pettigrew.

Also, if Hagrid was expelled in his third year, he must hardly know any
magic -- no curses, no charms, etc., that were taught in the 4th year and
above. So Harry knows more magic than Hagrid by now -- Draco too, so
Draco can really do Hagrid in if he wants to, and Hagrid won't know the
countercurrses yet....

Hagrid 'fell' for Olympe Maxime, right? Why didn't this poor old guy have
a love life when he was younger? He nevr married (then again, none of the
teachers did -- Snape sleeps in the castle, and so do McGonagall and the
rest...) and suddenly at this age he finds himself a girlfriend?

Oh, btw, somone onced asked what is the gender of Professor Sinistra. I
caught her dancing with Moody, so obviously she's female.
