Am rereading all the books in preparation for HBP. One seemingly 
unexplained occurrence is Hagrid's presence in Knockturn Alley in COS 
(when Harry ends up there by mistake after using Floo powder from the 
Weasleys).  I do not for a moment believe in ESE Hagrid, but it is 
clearly indicated in the book that his explanation of looking for slug 
repellent appears false.  

Nor is it a very effective red herring, if that is what is intended, as 
up til now there has been no suspicion of Hagrid. 

I have an impression that this is one of those unimportant plot points 
that becomes clear in retrospect. Any thoughts? Or have I missed an 
explanation?
