HunterGreen:
Except in this case its not a deviation from the book at all. 
Actually, in the movie Tom calls Hagrid 'Hagrid' when in the book 
(just checked, because I wasn't sure) he calls him 'Rubeus', which is 
even *more* personal. The first-name thing and Tom knowing that 
Hagrid was taking care of a 'monster', something that it seemed like 
no one else knew (of course Tom could have happened upon it by 
accident, and that might be why him and Hagrid knew each other). 
Again, I *very* much doubt that Hagrid is one the evil side, but it 
is all a little curious.
