No, it's not just you.

Definitely more than Sirius (unless he plays a huge role in
GoF, which I've barely started).

Although, maybe Hagrid doesn't quite come across as very
strong "father material". He sometimes seems more like a
peer than an authority figure, after you get over the first
impression (his imposing size).

I'd say at this point Hagrid's death would maybe be harder on
Harry than his godfather's death.

And harder on me, too.

I seem to be not that affected by the Sirius/Snape syndrome
<g>.
