allowed to use wand after he was cleared in COS. If not, why?"
       
me:
There is no mention in the subsequent books if he was "cleared to use the 
wand" or if his being expelled was also "cleared".  This being said, Hagrid 
is, in my opinion, using the wand, somehow concealed in his umbrella (as the 
core? ).   Perhaps this is something JKR will address in OOP and beyond.  The 
fact that Hagrid was expelled during his third year however, may be a 
stumbling point regardless of his now apparent innocence.

reading to keep her busy until June)
