large, a pass for using hyppogriffs?  

Valky:
Because Hippogryffs are no less dangerous than some of the 
explosions in Snape's dungeon, for a start. 

When Malfoy *deliberately* incenses Buckbeak, Hagrid shows that he 
has enough control and respect over Bucky to prevent a serious 
incedent.  The trial is a SHAM, Draco and the other students weren't 
in real danger from Buckbeak while Hagrid was there watching, and I 
don't recall him sneaking off for a smoko during the lesson, so he 
is NOT irresponsible as far as I'm concerned.

Snape OTOH *is* denying his students a sense of protectedness when 
they make potions, and people have been sent to the Hospital Wing 
from Snapes class as well. Not just Hagrids.


I am not giving Hagrid a free pass to be irresponsible. I stand firm 
that he IS a better more responsible and caring teacher than Snape. 
Full stop.
