Sorry, I forgot who wrote this! take a bow whoever it was anyway...
The reason, remember, that Hagrid said that foreigners weren't to be trusted 
was because he was still stinging from the reject from Mme Maxime-- wasn't 
that just a couple of days after she snubbed him? I can imagine feeling that 
way myself if someone treated me like that...(btw I'm sure he thought that 
area was secluded, it took him long enough to broach the subject with his 
girlfriend, never mind anyone else). I can also understand him thinking, if 
wizardry is genetic, as in a way it seems to be, that if Harry showed such 
great magic at such a young age, with two very powerful magicians as parents 
that he would be too (think of two parents being both excellent musicians, 
if you showed talent from a young age, people would assume it was from your 
parents). He probably said that about Malfoy because let's face it, as they 
are all rotten apples, it's in the family right? so.....it's in the "blood" 
if we were shown someone in the family who was on the good side, well then i 
can't see Hagrid saying that.
  just my two euro cent worth (not cent*s* for some reason)
theresa.
