I agree with what you are saying about how loyal Hagird is at the 
begining, but what if during the time he was missing the imperius 
Curse was used. I understand what you are saying about all the 
wizards tring to put a curse on him, but they are not LV. Who I would 
suspect is far more powerful then all of them. He has soom weakness, 
remember he was in prison for a time and the Dementors were able to 
control him. I am also sure that the giants may have helped in this 
since it looks as they will being siding with LV. I think it would be 
a neat twist. 

Other things to think about though with this, JKR every once in 
awhile shows a dark side to Hagrid as well. She tells us about him 
being in Knockturn Alley, how well he knows the forest, making 
blackmarket deals, and that he is half giant. 

Lastly, this would also explain how Malfoy knew that Hagrid was on a 
mission to the giants. With his father being a DE I am sure he has 
heard a number of conversations among the DE. One of them could be 
that they had capture Hagrid and they plan on using him.

Makes your mind work a bit dosen't it?
