I'm not saying that Hagrid as Keeper of Keys and
Grounds is not a wonderful friend for Harry - he is,
no argument here.
But Hagrid as a teacher should not resort to his
students for a moral support and practical help.

Well, as I said, Rowling likes him, so I expect he
will continue to give useful lessons. :-) Hmm, I
wonder - what if Harry defeats Voldy with the help of
flobberworms, would that be a surprising enough
ending? :-)

That's why I'm holding my judgement. So far he seems
to be a good teacher for certain kind of students -
those who are interested and capable. But if it turns
out that even these students think otherwise, I'll
join the mob and declare him bad teacher through and
through.
