I have, one daughter almost five months old. I feel very protective of
her.

Hagrid knows his subject. Draco is there to learn about magical
creatures, not about transfigurations.

Well, it is care of magical creatures class. Lots of magical creatures
are not nice, and as members of the WW the kids should know about
them. The hyppogrifs live in the forbidden forest. How dumb can you be
if you do not listen at the teacher when you can see that they are not
nice looking kittens?
