> Morgan again: This is an interesting point. How can a wizard who 
is not allowed to do magic be made a professor at Hogwarts? And 
also, why is he not allowed to do magic? Does anyone remember what 
exactly he was expelled for? - was it for opening the chamber or 
just for having Aragog in the castle? Once it was obviously Riddle 
who opened the chamber, why wasn't he allowed to do magic?

 Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts because the then Headmaster, 
Professor Dippett, believed - over DD's protests - what Tom Riddle 
told him... that Hagrid was the one who opened the Chamber of 
Secrets. When he was expelled it was the end of his 3rd year. His 
wand was broken in half when he was expelled though he tells 
Ollivander in SS that he kept the pieces. Harry suspects (as do I) 
that Hagrid has concealed the parts of the broken wand inside his 
pink umbrella. DD persuades Dippett to give Hagrid a second chance 
after he is expelled and makes him groundskeeper at Hogwarts. He 
apparently also is an assistant to the previous Care of Magical 
Creatures, Professor Kettleburn, who leaves at the end of COS 
to "enjoy more time with his remaining limbs". Hagrid is appointed 
Professor of COMC after that.   My questions are: 1-Why, when Hargid 
is cleared of the charges of opening the Chamber of Secrets, is he 
not allowed to get a new wand? Even first years have fully 
functional wands even though they are not allowed to do magic away 
from Hogwarts. 2-Why does Hagrid's broken wand function as well as 
it does? We see him in SS powering the boat he uses to get Harry 
with it, making a fire, etc. And we see him using it in other books 
as well. But when Ron's wand is broken in COS it does not function 
at all well! In fact it is his broken wand that causes Lockhart to 
lose his memory because the Memory Charm Lockhart tries to use 
against Harry and Ron backfires.  3-Isn't there, in the WW, anything 
equivalent to a GED? Couldn't Hagrid be allowed to at least try for 
an OWL or two? He'd get one for sure in COMC and maybe one in Charms 
since DD gives him permission, on occasion, to use them in the 
course of his work.
