And don't forget Hermoine's infamous line after the Trio first met
Fluffy, along the lines of, "You'll get us killed. Or worse, expelled!"
LOL I always thought of that as being Highly Academic Hermoine freaking
at the idea of *gasp* getting thrown out of school - it  *would* be a
fate worse than death for her. But I think you may be on to something.
Getting expelled must be a really bad punishment. I suppose it's lucky
Hagrid is such a gentle soul or he might have really become a problem
after being expelled.
