now Shirley:
Hmmm, that's interesting.  I always assumed that Firenze's comment 
about Hagrid's attempt not working was related to Grawp.  I thought 
he was telling Harry to tell Hagrid to give up on trying 
to 'civilize' Grawp.

So, if that's not the case, what do *you* think he's hinting at?  
(because I'm still not clear on that from your discussion in this 
post)

Shirley, who hopes she doesn't sound stupid with that question....
