What about Hagrid? He was a major part of CoS, he's a half-blood, 
and we don't know where his mother stood in giant society. In the 
OotP Threads a few weeks back people were complaining about why the 
giants were even included. Could Hagrid the Giant Prince...er, Price 
Giant have anything to do with that? 
Meri, speculating...
