Hagrid was born in 1929. He is in his mid-60s in the books. We don't 
know if Arthur and Molly were at Hogwarts before or after that point. 
Hagrid's stint as Groundskeep would have included, presumably, an 
apprentice period, when Ogg would have been the "head guy" and young 
Hagrid would have followed him around, carrying his crossbow and 
whatever. Poor guy...unjustly accused...

I am not impressed by the state of justice in the Wizarding World.

That's a great motto for this list. Can we put it on the main page 
somewhere? Who do we credit the quote to? :D
