Bah!  I will not pledge to post that Hagrid was a good teacher.  No 
one can make me do that ::shudder::.  However, I definitely will not 
dance a jig of glee (10 House points for anyone who knows what tv show 
that came from) if Hagrid or anyone else I do not like dies.  I will 
think it is very sad.  If JKR has Hagrid die, I am sure it will be 
quite tragic.  I cannot imagine she will have him die the way Cedric 
did, like Cindy said, with no meaning to it (that was pretty tragic 
too, actually).  I will also be sad for Harry and his friends, because 
they will have lost a good friend and protector.  Just because I don't 
like Hagrid doesn't mean I think he's a bad character.  His heart is 
always in the right place and he adores Harry; he's just irresponsible 
in a way that irritates me to no end.

Unlike Cindy, I am not a fan of grisly and gruesome things.  I never 
wish death for anyone, even characters as loathesome as Lockhart or 
the Dursleys.
