Oh wow, yer right! LOL!  I haven't read the first or second book in 
AGES.  I was pregnant at the time too.  Can I claim temporary 
pregnancy-induced memory lapse? LOL  I guess I should dust off the first 
and second book again because, your right, the movies are clouding what 
the books said.

So are you saying that Hagrid *knew* that Sirius was innocent or that 
this statement was simply a well placed clue that maybe many of us 
didn't catch until we realized that Scabbers was really Peter?  (Which 
took me totally by surprise, btw. LOL)  To me, it does make sense that 
all of them were in the same house...but at the same time, I don't know 
how they managed to figure out all of the secret passages without either 
having a really good "in" with a person in each house, or by being in 
separate houses themselves.  Oh well, maybe some day she'll let us 
know...or maybe she just thinks we are crazy for wondering this much 
about it! LOL!
