Okay, *now* I have to jump in.  First, the thing hunting the unicorns 
is in PS/SS, not CoS (which is the book in which Hagrid opens the 
door with his crossbow in hand); presumably, by CoS Hagrid would know 
that Voldemort/Quirrell was what had hurt the unicorns.  Second, it 
is Ron who accompanies Harry to Hagrid's; Hermione is in the hospital 
wing, petrified.

Sandy, aka "msbeadsley" who is simultaneously sure (having checked 
canon which she now keeps at her elbow when posting) she is right 
about this and worried she missed something.
