Let's take it a step further:

What do the laws of genetics say about the potential products of a 
Hagrid/Mme Maxime pairing? Assuming that both Hagred and Maxime are 
1/2 giant, couldn't this produce some purely genetically giant off-
spring, as well as some purely genetically human off-spring, and/or 
any combination in between? If this theory is correct, isn't the 
Hagrid/Maxime pairing a really bad idea?
