According to the Hagrid's information at the HP
Lexicon
(http://www.i2k.com/~svderark/lexicon/hagrid.html)
Hagrid was indeed a Gryffindor, not a Hufflepuff :)

I wonder why it is though that Hufflepuff is so
overlooked. It was nice in GoF to see a Hufflepuff
neck and neck with a Gryffindor but still... (I lean
much more towards Gryffindor anyways)
