Ok, well my thinking on the subject is this.  Since Hagrid was 
expelled from Hogwarts, and he continues to work there, I think that 
is why he wasn't able to have a wand.  One of the stipulations of 
staying at Hogwarts, even if it was to work, he couldn't practice 
magic.  He also says in SS that he was given permission to use magic 
to go get Harry, and that was the only time.

Now, since Hagrid was expelled for opening the Chamber of 
Secrets...but is now cleared from it...can he get another wand?  They 
only snapped his in the first place cause of the expulsion. hmmm....
