I enjoyed your example of ordinary stupid wizarding parents' opinion, 
but must nitpick this aspect: when Rita Skeeter revealed Hagrid's 
parentage and he hid in his hut in shame, Dumbledore was bombarded 
with letters from parents who remembered Hagrid from their own school 
days, remembered him affectionately enough that their letters were 
demanding that Dumbledore *keep* him on the job.

I write:

Ah, Dumbledore *said* that he was bombarded by 
letters. And, although we know for sure that
there are families (like the Malfoys) out there who
detest Hagrid, Dumbledore conveniently did not 
mention the letters he must've received demanding 
Hagrid's removal. Nor did he mention the proportion
between those two.
