I think it was revealed in the Scholastic Books interview. Rowling 
affirmed that Hagrid was in Gryffindor and Voldemort slandered Hagrid 
with rumors of raising werewolf pups and the like.

I'm pretty sure the rumors that Hagrid was in Hufflepuff came from 
that vague paragraph in SS/PS where Hagrid tells Harry that everyone 
thinks Hufflepuff is full of duffers. While that paragraph doesn't 
state Hagrid was a Hufflepuff it gives the impression he was.
