You don't have to be dead to do Hagrid's job, but it helps.

The first time you go to Hogwarts, he takes you across in a ferry.  
He owns a three-headed dog.  He may be the 'Keeper of Keys and 
Grounds *at* Hogwarts', but where is he the Keeper *of*?

"I would trust Hagrid with my life" may thus be a quite literal 
prediction.

The book begins with the Dursleys, Dumbledore, McGonagall, Hagrid, 
and Harry, with Sirius hovering just offstage.  If Hagrid *is* the 
veil, we can still have the exact same configuration at the close.

Hagrid can usher Harry off the stage, no doubt using transportation 
provided by Sirius, away from the mundane world of the Dursleys, 
into the next great adventure with Dumbledore.  Minerva's job, 
presumably, will be to be POV character.  Wisdom is not wisdom until 
it is available to us all.
