Mine too.

Everyone thinks Hagrid is a big clueless buffoon, and it's perfectly true 
that subtlety is not his strong point. However, in Knockturn Alley, he 
doesn't have to be subtle. He's a half-giant, hanging around the shady part 
of town where marginalized people and the "underworld" are. (I wonder if 
that's where Lupin spent some time ...) He fits right in, no one thinks 
anything of his being there, and he hides "in plain sight," collecting 
information.

Look at the things this allegedly clueless character has already done for 
Dumbledore! Who brought Harry from Godric's Hollow to Privet Drive? Who 
picked up the Philosopher's Stone from Gringott's?

Unfortunately, I suspect that if Hagrid does die later in the series it will 
be because someone finally caught on to him.
