there's plenty of  evidence that calls into question his judgement 
and I think that one of these  errors of judgement, perhaps even 
leading Dumbledore into an attempt to  rescue him will prove fatal.

I am also convinced that Hagrid will "betray" Dumbledore - although 
from the characterisation we've have seen so far I don't think it 
will be deliberate. I also remember another passage in which Ron (I 
think - I haven't got my books handy) says that Neville will play for 
England before Hagrid betrays Dumbledore. So watch out for that round-
faced boy on a broomstick - it spells doom!

Seriously though, it just seems that there is too much emphasis on 
Hagrid NOT betraying Dumbledore, and I can't recall this being said 
of any other character. Whilst Snape may or may not prove to be loyal 
to Voldemort, his loyalty to (or potential betrayal of) Dumbledore is 
never specifically mentioned. Having said that, I keep thinking that 
Hagrid is going to be the first "main" character to die which would 
rather stop him from betraying Dumbledore - unless he gives away a 
secret which is then oly actd upon after his death
