Need more proof?  No problem at all.  Look at GoF.  Now, Aurors have
been known to *kill* Giants, right?  Aurors practically *wiped out*
the Giants.  There's no love lost there.  Yet there's Hagrid in the
Leaky Cauldron with *Moody*, of all people, the most famous auror of
them all.  There ought to be no reason for Hagrid to be a fan of
*real* Moody.  Hagrid doesn't even applaud for Moody when Moody
first enters the entrance hall and is introduced to the students.
But somehow by the time of the first task, Hagrid and Moody are
*drinking buddies*.  Why?
**************

Sorry, just read that chapter to the kids last night. Hagrid and Dumbledore
are the only two who clap for Moody. Everyone else is too shocked to move.
I'll quote you the part if you need it, but you get the point.

Not that this in any way totally invalidates the very bangness of the ideas
here presented. It's just that it's always good to be clear and precise if
possible.

Cindy goes on:
*************
Oh, Hagrid knew Harry would win, didn't he?  Hagrid made sure of
*that* by being one of the teachers appointed to patrol the maze.
That's odd, isn't it?  Hagrid doesn't even have a proper *wand*,
does he?
*************

Aside from the fact that blast-ended screwts were one of the elements of the
maze. And that a Sphinx was there. And other magical creatues. Which is his
specialty, wand or no. So it makes perfect logical sense to have him there.


More from Cindy:
*************
No, the only explanation is that Hagrid is busy trudging back onto
the Hogwarts grounds after watching Harry's duel with Voldemort.
Hagrid was right there in the circle with the other DEs.
************

Um... forgive me for saying this but, how exactly would Harry have missed
that one? In the words of Harry Chapin, "6,000 munchkins and a troll".
