If I could revert to my original post about Hagrid representing St.
Peter, I feel that Hagrid has some of the characteristics of the
saint, particularly in his tendency to rush in where angels fear to
tread (What am I doing walking on water!) I don't think for a moment
that Hagrid would willingly betray Harry, but he could, in his
essential simplicity, be tricked into it. I do hope not, because his
despair would be terrible.
I think the parrallel between Snape and St. Paul is a particularly
accurate one. Nothing like a reformed sinner!

betrayed sounded better)
