I just watched CoS last week with my boys (okay, for the millionth
time!) and this scene just struck me as odd. I couldn't quite figure
out why Hagrid had those damn roosters.

Similarly, I also had the same feeling during the Knockturn Alley
scene; or, that is, directly following the Knockturn Alley scene,
where Hagrid finds Harry and warns him about being there. When Harry
questions this, and asks Hagrid what *he's* doing down there, Hagrid
says he was looking for some flesh-eating slug repellant. I haven't
read the book in a while. Is there anything to back this up, or is
Hagrid really doing something suspicious?
