Hagrid's name is cleared. I'm not certain if wizards even keep an 
official record to wipe off because of that. However, to become a 
full-fledged wizard, Hagrid must take OWLs at least, possibly NEWTs 
as well. So - I think Hagrid will be a student at Hogwarts - of 
Harry's year, in order to gain OWLs, to secure Harry and to be more 
of Madame Maxime's equal. However, even so, he'd not be quitting his 
teacher-job!

It might be surprising about Hagrid, but who would have thought of 
Rubeus Hagrid having a date and inviting Harry to watch?
