I for one don't buy it. :) Hagrid always seemed, from what we've seen, far
too attached to the Gryffindor house--always sitting in their section at
Quidditch matches, for example, for me to believe he was a Hufflepuff, so
when I heard JKR had verified that he was one I was very surprised and a
little disappointed--(how stereotypical that the one wizard we've seen who
got expelled from the school turns out to be from the house traditionally
considered the weakest.)

Also, if you're extending that theory, it means Neville, who turns *into*
a canary at one point during GOF, was put in the wrong house--and I
sincerely hope that wasn't the case.
