This is more of what I had in mind.  Do we underestimate Hagrid 
because of his more notorious escapades:  Aragog, Fluffy, dragon 
eggs, blast-ended skrewts and "baby brother"?  Is there more there 
than meets the eye (excuse the pun).  We know Hagrid is not the HBP.  
I keep going over the line of Dumbledore's "I would trust Hagrid with 
my life."  He was at Hogwarts at the time of Tom Riddle.  Does he 
know something we still have to discover?  Could he have something to 
do with the discovery in BK 2 that gets expanded in BK6?

I wasn't aware of the vastness of references to title "Keeper of the 
Keys".  I do remember Mr. Jingaling who was the Keeper of the Keys at 
Halles toy department at Christmas time when I was a kid.

I still tend to think there is something more symbolic than an actual 
ring of keys.  (I agree HP is not an allegory, but please! don't try 
to say JKR doesn't use symbolism.  HP is full of symbolism even if it 
is a coming of age, adventure, mystery, etc. story.)
