What was Hagrid doing?????

He was working at Hogwarts. You are certainly entitled to your 
opinion, but I think you will find a majority of people believe that 
upon being expelled, Hagrid worked as gamekeeper-in-training until he 
recieved the appointment full time. 

Me: You may be right that most people believe that, but the question 
is, what does JKR believe?  Are we to believe that somebody expelled 
for MURDER will be allowed to remain on school grounds?  Hagrid may 
not have been sent to Azkaban, as far as we know, but the Hogwarts 
governers would have had Dippet sacked if he allowed Hagrid to stay 
at Hogwarts.  Hagrid's wand was snapped, and Fudge makes reference to 
Hagrid's record being against him, so his expulsion was likely an 
official, carefully monitored procedure - I do not think that Dippet 
would allow it to be undermined in that way.
