True..Aragog says 'But that was years' ago....but later, in the same quote, 
he says 'that's why they made him leave the school.' That leads me to believe 
he was talking about the incident, not the punishment. 

I'm not saying I disagree about him being sent to Azkaban during the first 
set of attacks.
