Hi all!

Rereading GoF for the millionth time, a question occured.

Hagrid is a half-giant- Giantess-mother and wizard-father.
My question: how does this work? Imagine the size differences!
It is worse than, lets say, a Bobtail and a Chihuahua!

Okay, it might work out for Hagrdis parents, after all the female is 
the giant.(It wuold seem rather strange though)

 But Hagrid asked Olympe Maxime, "which one was it in your family".
Can you imagine a human woman and a giant man?
I mean apart from the biggest *ouch* I can think of, how can a human 
woman give birth to a half-giant baby, probably already about the size 
of a school-kid as a new-born?
I mean, an ordinary 50cm baby nearly kills you (or at least you want 
to be dead the last few minutes before it's over:))
Can a woman survive either the sex with the giant or the birth of her 
half-giant baby?

On a side-note: What if Mme Maxime and Hagrid had a baby. (she could 
be pregnant before Hagrid dies, who knows)
I mean, the percentage is clear: About 50% probability for it to be 
half-gian, 25% full-giant and 25% full-wizard. Wouldn't a full-giant 
in the wizarding- world be worse than say a werewolf, even with those 
parents?
It just kept me thinking
