umbrella is never mentioned  again, even though it's believed to hold 
Hagrid's wand. In most of the discussions lately, it's been pointed 
out that JKR rarely mentions something that has no meaning. Anyone 
have any ideas as to whether or not Hagrid's secret wand will come 
into play in the future?"

Since Hagrid's name was cleared at the end of book 2, I don't think 
he'd need to hide his wand anymore. I have been waiting for him to 
show up with a new replacement. I'm pretty sure he'd be allowed to 
use one; he isn't a Hogwarts graduate obviously but he's a wiz and of 
age. Home study is part of the WW (Filch), so, busy as Hagrid has 
been lately, I think he has the option to hit the books and become a 
fully fledged wizard if he wants to. I think maybe as it stands now 
he's probably restricted to using a wand in his own home and when 
there's no witnesses. Probably he has to pass his O.W.L.s at least 
before using a wand in society.
