Just pointing out that when Harry meets Hagrid in Knockturn Alley 
it's the start of his second year, and Hagrid doesn't become the CoMC 
teacher until the start of Harry's third year. So, seeing as Hagrid 
only has game-keeper duties at this point it is unlikely that this is 
the case.

Although, with Hagrid's love of menacing animals he could have been 
possible that he was buying a 'baby manitcore or something of that 
ilf' for his own personal interest.
