[HPforGrownups] Mentoring at Hogwarts, WAS: Re: How Did McGonagall know?

I would guess that Hagrid mentors Luna in CoMC "off page," since they both
have an interest in unusual, rare, and fantastic creatures.  Not to mention
that Luna takes critters like Thestrals in stride.

(This is not a new idea, as it has been mentioned on list before by a number
of people... which is why I don't try to cite specific instances... It's
just an expansion on the idea that Hagrid explained the Thestrals to Luna.
I'm just surprised that Neville's never mentioned them in any of the earlier
books.  Makes you wonder when his grandfather died...)


Just my two centaurs worth.
