I'd never really paid any attention to that before, other than that it
shows they were personally acquainted with each other.

But you're quite right.  Their use of first names suggests something
much more than mere acquaintance.  What if Hagrid actually thought
they were *friends?*  Then Riddle didn't just use him as a scapegoat,
he betrayed him.  Probably know all about that acromantula because
Hagrid had told him all about it.  And now he just carries on with how
his life has turned out, never complaining, hardly a harsh word to say
about anybody.  I'll bet it turns out he's a lot deeper than any of us
thought.

And there's no way I think Hagrid could have been in Slytherin.  He's
just not the Slytherin type.  It's just that Riddle was charming to
people all over the school, in case he needed to make use of them.
