Do we know for a fact that Hagrid hasn't taken  equivalency OWLs 
and/or NEWTs?  Dumbledore apparently has been convinced of Hagrid's 
innocence all along.

as for Lockhart? I had a notion about that earlier. Ever see the movie 
"Regarding Henry?" Lockhart [if they can find a way to sufficiently 
counteract the memory charm that he can recall longer than 30 seconds] 
 may be a changed man if we see him again.
