training or no training.  The sad thing to me is that Hagrid actually 
has an *excellent* background in the care of magical creatures, but 
his bias towards the dangerous ones combined with his general 
insecurities prevent him from being the teacher he could be.  I don't 
buy the "he didn't ask for it" excuse; there are plenty of things we 
are all asked to do in our lives and when we say yes, we must accept 
the responsibilities that come with our decisions.  Either way, Hagrid 
is the one who ultimately failed at the position."

Come on, we know how great he thinks Dumbledore is. In Hagrid's eyes, I think, Dumbledore wouldn't offer him a job unless he trusted him to do it well :) 

Maybe Hagrid could be sent to teacher training. I wonder how teachers get qualified in the WW? Incidentally, are you a UK teacher or are you from abroad? 

Rosie, having read about a UK teacher training thing, where you must tick boxes to show that you *can* write on a blackboard, and laughing at the thought of Hagrid doing so.
