I'd trust Hagrid with my life

I was re-reading this weekend and something struck me. One of DD's 
opening lines in book 1 is "I'd trust Hagrid with my life." This is 
one of those lines that just hung with me (like the Chamber pot joke 
from book 1 that ended up being the Room of Requirements in book 5).

I'm pretty sure it is signifigant -- possibly DD's eventual death (I 
think we've pretty much all agreed that he'll die by the end of the 
series)will be because of trusting Hagrid (wouldn't that make his 
line from book 1 eerie upon re-reading?). 

Do any of you have any thoughts? Have I possibly missed an occasion 
where DD has already trusted Hagrid with his life?
