Me:

Some earlier threads which led to my posting
mentioned that Dippet wouldn't have wanted to
keep Hagrid after he had been expelled and that
Dumbledore must have brought Hagrid back to work
at Hogwarts after Molly Weasley was there.  I was
referencing the fact Hagrid didn't have to leave
Hogwarts.

The association is that Hagrid never left
Hogwarts and would therefore lead to the
assumption he would have still been there when
Molly Weasley went to Hogwarts.

And yes, I did forget that Hagrid has another
title other than gamekeeper.  However, this
doesn't mean that the jobs of gamekeeper,
growndskeeper and Keeper of the Keys were always
held by only one person.  They may well have been
held by three different people at some point, or
two, or combined as they are by Hagrid in PS.  Of
course, Hagrid now also has the title of teacher.
 

So, in keeping with the various arguments of the
thread, just because Molly Weasley remembers a
different groundskeeper doesn't mean that Hagrid
wasn't there when she was at Hogwarts but rather
that she just doesn't mention him.
