Me and my friend were discussing Hagrid and his parents the other 
day, and the one thing we want to know is: how the hell did they 
have sex? 
A giantess and a man? It must have been like waving a pencil in a 
cave for one thing. 

Becki's thoughts on the subject;

I always wondered about this one too, but more-so of the attraction 
involved.  With the discription of Grawp, how would a normal wizzard 
even be interested or attracted to a giantess?  Harry discription of 
Grawp: (from "Grawp,693 Oop, AM).

Unlike Hagrid, who simply looked like a very oversized human, Grawp 
looked strangely misshapen.  What Harry had taken to be a vast mossy 
boulder to the left of the great earthen mound he now recognized as 
Grawp's head. It was much larger in proportion to the body than a 
human head, almost perfectly round and covered with tightly curling, 
close growing hair the color of bracken.

Now I am assuming that giantess' are just female versions of male 
giants, like Grawp.  After all, she was his mother, he must have 
gotten some of her genes.  She must have resembled him in some way.

Which brings me back to my original question, what the heck did he 
see in her?
