JKR tells us who the good guys are, and I'm prepared 
to take her word on that. 
And, as one who loves Hagrid, I'll take his love and loyalty to 
Dumbledore any day, even if he does drink a bit when he's sad and 
even if he does step over the line when it comes to Dumbledore and 
indeed Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

Thank you Zoe - you've said what I wanted to say about Hagrid. JKR 
likes him - it's obvious she does - "skrewts and all"!!

My apologies - just found the original posting of:

"..in an interview prior to the publication of GoF,
 JKR said very clearly that in the fourth book the kids all fall for 
the *wrong* people..."

It was Ancarett who wrote this, not Eileen.


But, Eileen did write:
It would show that Ginny has moved past the impressionablity of 
the earlier books: hero-worship of Harry, the susceptability to Tom 
Riddle's charms, even the seeming idolization of Bill's coolness, to 
seeing what's inside a person. Neville does not appeal to her at 
first. She is presented as having a pained expression, as he treads 
on her feet at the ball. But she keeps faith with him when she gets 
the hoped-for invitation from Harry (via Ron :-), suggesting that she 
will not let initial feelings rule her life.

I think Ginny's keeping faith with Neville has more to do with the 
fact that she is highly evolved morally. Good & moral people do not 
break plans with dates or friends when they get a better offer. This 
makes her all the more worthy of Harry - who she still obviously 
idolizes...
