"At lunchtime they went down to the Great Hall, to find that the
House tables had been moved against the walls again, and that a
single table, set for twelve, stood in the middle of the room.
Professors Dumbledore, McGonagall, Snape, Sprout, and Flitwick were
there, along with Filch, the caretaker, who had taken off his usual
brown coat and was wearing a very old and rather moldy-looking
tailcoat. There were only three other students, two extremely
nervous-looking first years and a sullen-faced Slytherin fifth year.
'Merry Christmas!' said Dumbledore as Harry , Ron, and Hermione
approached the table.....
As Harry was helping himself to roast potatoes, the doors of the
Great Hall opened again. Itwas Professor Trelawney. gliding toward
them as though on wheels....
I dare not, Headmaster! If I join the table, we shall be
thirteen!"
No other names are mentioned. The table is set for thirteen. We get
thirteen names.

My question is where is Hagrid? He surely wouldnt eat alone on
Christmas. He can't have a wife if he becomes so smitten with Madame
Maxime in GoF. Does he perhaps have children? Or was he simply
forgotten in Jo's writing?
