Knock it off, you two!  Bonding over your support of Hagrid - feh!  
Pushing me to start slammin' Hagrid again, just so you can say how 
great he is - bah!  I'll just tell you why I dislike Hagrid so much, 
and I'll stand by my dislike even if I am the only one of all the 
6800+ members of HPFGU to do so.  Here goes:

Jenny's Top 10 Reasons to Dislike Hagrid:
1. He has a big mouth (leaks information to the Trio that he shouldn't 
have in SS and says way too much to Rita Skeeter in the interview he 
knew he shouldn't have done).
2. Clearly breaks wizarding laws (uses magic when with Harry and 
harbors a baby dragon in SS).
3. Encourages children to be dishonest (asks Harry not to mention his 
use of magic illegally in SS).
4. Allows his temper to get the best of him, causing damage to others 
(granted, it is only in relation to Dumbledore, but really, did he 
have to give Dudley a pig's tail?).
5. He's a terrible, horrible, awful, inept teacher - he'd even be 
fired from the NYC public school system (where I work), and that's 
quite a feat!
6. He cries too much (people are going to hate me for that one, but a 
teacher who openly cries in front of the students - that's baaaaad).
7. He drinks when his job seems to keep him on call all the time.
8. He leans too much on the Trio.
9. Puts others in danger (remember Norbert?  He not only allowed the 
Trio to help him with the baby dragon, he also said nothing to defend 
them when they got in trouble or injured as a result.  He also sent 
Ron and Harry straight to the monster spiders).
10. He has bad taste (remember the horrible hairy suit?  Blech).

So go ahead - let me have it!  Let's get the Great Hagrid Debate up 
and running again.  Darrin, I'm sure you'll tear me to bits.

is and she is someone who does not like Hagrid!
