Mari:
OT My husband was surprise I forgot, since in college he played Curly in A production Of Mice and Men

Anyway,
Rereading the passages when Hagrid is talking about his brother.  I noticed the same correlation between Hagrid and Grawp and George and Lennie.  Hopefully the same fate will not happen to Grawp as what happen to Lennie.
