Except he was already over-sized at age 6. He states
in GoF that he was big enough then to put his dad up
on a dresser if his dad annoyed him. That's too soon
to have been bitten by Aragog (if that's who you meant
by the hyperactive acromantula). Hagrid freely admits
his mother was a giant once the Skeeter article comes
out. In view of the prejudice against giants and
half-giants, why would he lie about it? 

Anne (whose old wych handle has to do with an in-joke
on the figure skating boards she frequents... Who is
Anne Bellegerante? You can answer off list. :))
