Interesting to note though that Hagrid would have to be in his 60's if
he went to school with Tom 50 years ago.  Perhaps Giants have far longer
life spans then humans and being half giant has caused Hagrid to age
slower and might make him equivalent of 30-40 years old?  I mean, he
doesn't act 60+ years old at all.
