Hagrid's been JKR's source of misinformation before. Think about the 
way she phrases it: "myst'ry is why You-Know-Who never tried to 
get 'em on his side", given that the books are as much mystery as 
fantasy, and the way she quietly foreshadows things. 

>From what we've seen and heard of the Marauders Hogwarts behavior, 
Voldemort had to consider them prime candidates for recruitment--and 
of course one of them was. The flipping of Snape in the pensieve 
scene mirrors the DEs with the muggles at the quidditch cup, and 
pretty much equates Marauders to DEs. But something changed James. I 
think he really did hate the dark arts, and being approached by 
Voldemort was a wake-up call.
