>>But Umbridge sneeked up on Hagrid in the dead of night with a team 
of Aurors with the sole intent of intimidating and bullying Hagrid, 
and demonstrating the absoluteness of her authority and power. This 
was all about power, it had nothing to do with crime or job 
performance.<<

HunterGreen:
Especially since she only 'proved' he was a bad teacher, which had 
nothing to do with his gamekeeping duties, and therefore him being 
fired as a teacher didn't excise him from the school. Her coming down 
there in the middle of the night with several hours and the intent of 
throwing him off the grounds was absolutely ridiculous. She hoped to 
annoy him and get himself into trouble, which of course he did. 
Unless she was firing him as gamekeeper as well as a teacher (and as 
far as game-keeping went, she had no reason to fire him), she didn't 
have the right to remove him from the school. Obviously, her 
treatment of Hargrid had more to do with his loyalty to Dumbledore 
than anything else.
