I don't think *anyone* asked Lockhart for advice...he gave unsolicited 
advice to everyone. Remember his Whomping Willow tips he gave to Prof. 
Sprout? He's such an idiot...you'd think he'd realize with all his 
ramblings (to highly qualified people) that he'd expose himself as a fraud.

The kelpies in the well are extremely fishy (pun intended), but if Hagrid 
were lying he could come up with a much better lie than that one. Of 
course, we know he hasn't the quickest mind when under pressure. Put on the 
spot as he was was, he could blunder with something as dumb as kelpies in 
the well.
