Was Hagrid a Hufflepuff

I'm new here and I searched and searched to see if this question had 
been definitively answered, but I couldn't find anything.  I read in 
the messages that JKR said he was in Gryffindor, but that didn't seem 
certain.  I was sure when Hagrid said, "People say Hufflepuffs are a 
lot of duffers, but..." he was going to say, "but I was in 
Hufflepuff."  That makes the most sense to me, yes he is brave like a 
Gryffindor, but his qualities as a friend are what make him unique 
and interesting.  There doesn't seem to be any support for this 
theory, but I can't shake it.  I apologize if this ground has already 
been covered.
