  Hello! 
  Erm, well, I actually think it would be extremely out of character 
for Hagrid to purchase a wand. Yes, he has a certain disregard for 
the rules when it comes to illegal pets *grin*, but I believe this is 
driven mostly out of love for them, (and a touching innocence in his 
ability to care for creatures most of the WW turn their noses up at 
and fear more out of ignorance then any real basis).
  When Hagrid respects someone, he respects them, and I don't believe 
he would betray Dumbledore by going behind his back to by a dodgy 
wand. His wand was broken, and he's very quick to assure Mr Olivander 
in PS that it's remained so, and Hagrid definately isn't one to buy 
something simply to 'look' at it, or think it's pretty. 
  Darla.
