Does it make me hideously unintelligent if I don't understand why this
makes Firenze Charon?

Also, as far as Hagrid as Charon:  As has been much discussed, it
would seem (from this interview:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/tv_film/newsid_3758000/3758101.stm)
that there is a graveyard somewhere at Hogwarts.  In the article,
Cuaron implies that his idea to have the graveyard make an appearance
is rejected, but this isn't entirely true, as has also already been
pointed out by others--there is in fact a small cemetary in the
background of the scene in POA where Lupin and Harry are walking
around outside talking.  The cemetary is on a small island in the
lake.  Now--and I would like to point out that I am probably reading
more into this than should be even if Hagrid is very intentionally
Charon--if this piece of information is correct (which it may not even
be) then someone has to take the bodies over to this island and bury
them, and that person would most likely be Hagrid...  Which is sort of
parallel to ferrying souls...
