>From Fantastic Beasts...  "Kelpie  MOM Classsification XXXX  This 
British and Irish water demon can take various shapes, though it 
most oftem appears as a horse with bulrushes for a mane.  Having 
lured the unwary on to its back, it will dive straight the the 
bottom of its river or lake and devour the rider, letting the 
enttrails float to the surface.  The correct means to overcome a 
kelpie is to get a bridle over its head with a placement charm, 
which renders it docile and unthreatening..."

Shouldn't Hagrid know this and why's he asking Lockhart?
