I also think it was a lie.  But just *what* was Hagrid covering up?  Perhaps 
there's a half-giant's tavern down that way?  Or maybe he was visiting one of 
those places that men sometimes visit but don't talk about in front of kids.

Remember Ron's alternate definition of 5-star dangerous creatures?  "Anything 
that Hagrid likes."

But remember, to you Grawp is a monster.  To Hagrid, he's family.
