I agree that Hagrid wasn't telling the entire truth also, but I really don't 
think he was doing anything bad there.  I've always thought that Hagrid is 
doing a lot more for Dumbledore than we know.  Dumbledore seems to trust him 
so much, and Hagrid seems to be the kind of person that would do anything for 
him.  Dumbledore seems to keep up with news around him besides news from the 
Daily Prophet, like muggle newspapers for instance, so it would not suprise 
me at all if he sent someone every once in awhile down Knockturn Alley just 
to see if they overhear something.  Although, thinking about it, Hagrid would 
not really be the ideal choice for this....Maybe Hagrid really did need the 
slug repellent and he was killing two birds with one stone? I don't know. I'm 
just speculating here.
