Hagrid's parents

I have ventured out of lurkdom twice in three days - that's pretty 
good doing.

I must admit that my question regarding the subject of Hagrid's 
Parents is rather tame and innocent, compared to some of the comments 
that have been thrown around lately.

A previous poster (I'm at work just now and don't have a lot of time 
so the fact that I'm not crediting the past posters please accept my 
apologies) asked "What did his dad see in his mother?".

My question is what on earth did his mother see in his father?  We 
know, from the photo scene in GOF that Mr Hagrid Snr was "a tiny 
man", and if I remember correctly there was no qualification 
of "compared to Hagrid." 

We also learned that "size is everything" to giants in OOTP.  How 
would a giantess hope to produce a child of acceptable size when the 
father was a tiny little wizard?

A slightly more innocent spin on the subject from
