bboyminn:

So, the basic question is, does Hagrid teach the same class to
everyone, or does he tailor specific classes to each class/grade year?
I think there are hints that Hagrid teaches each class year the same
information. Hagrid is still pretty new at his job, and I don't think
he has had time to devise 7 unique lesson plans.

I think Hagrid's comment that he was saving the Thestrals until Fifth
years, means he was saving them until Harry was in his Fifth/OWL years
before introducing them to everyone. So, he's not saying 'fifth years
/only/', he is saying until Harry is in his fifth/OWL years. In that
sense, Hagrid is somewhat fixated on Harry, and teaching Harry form
the foundation for all his lesson plans.

Just a thought.
