Hagrid, through his various character flaws, has caused serious 
problems in every one of the books so far.

PS/SS: Tells the stranger in the pub how to get past Fluffy in 
exchange for a few drinks and a dragon's egg.

CoS: Nearly gets Harry and Ron killed by sending them after a 
giant spider that Hagrid doesn't *think* will hurt them.

PoA: The whole Buckbeak fiasco. He shouldn't have introduced 
such a dangerous creature in the first class. He should have 
noticed that Malfoy wasn't paying attention and should have been 
more in control of the situation. He has all the kids going up to 
play with a very dangerous creature at the same time. Each one 
of those children should be handling a hippogriff one at a time, 
with Hagrid right next to them and ready to stop any potential 
problems. And then he's the worst teacher ever for the rest of the 
year. The children learn absolutely nothing by feeding 
flobberworms lettuce. He deserved to be canned.

GoF: He knows that Rita Skeeter isn't to be trusted, and he 
willingly speaks to her anyway (going to the Three Broomsticks 
together, I might add), and offers her information about himself 
and Harry that she exploits to everyone's detriment, all simply 
because she flatters him a little bit.


Hagrid has repeatedly shown that he does not deserve to be 
trusted with anything important. He simply cannot be counted on 
to do anything right.

I thought I was doing him a favor in my scenario by allowing him 
to redeem himself in death.

Joe, who really can't stand Hagrid.
