Hagrid's wand / James as role model / Harry's methodology / Snape

Hi.  I'm new here and have been reading the posts.

One thing that stands out for me all along is that even though Hagrid 
was cleared in PoA, he was never officially given his wand back.  
We 'know' that he has his wand in his umbrella though.  

Another thing is that in OoP, Harry comes to the realisation that 
maybe he doesn't want to be like his father in that James was too 
much into the pranks, etc.  

I think that Harry and Snape will somewhat come to terms with one 
another (and perhaps gain a healthy respect for one another because:

1.  It will prove out that Harry does not want to be as much like 
James as Snape has him pegged.

2.  Harry is already faced with the decision of choosing right or 
easy.  Since Voldemort has already confronted him about his 
predictibility, Harry will have to change his methodology in the way 
he deals with things.

It is clear to me that Harry and Snape will have to work together, 
and that Snape will not be allowed to dismiss him as he did during 
the Pensieve tutilage.  

Snape is already prepared to do the work he has been requested to do 
by Dumbledore, and I think that it at least includes tracking down 
the missing DEs.  

My four cents' worth...
