Miles:
Is there anything in canon that supports this ?
Hagrid as a keeper of any secret is a disaster - especially in PS/SS. He ist
tricked not only by Quirrel/Voldemort, but as well by Harry and his friends.
I do not say that Hagrid is not trustworthy in total - but he has
weaknesses which are quite easy to identify.
For sure, Hagrid blabs not every secret he knows about - but the chance is
always good enough. Would Dumbledore tell Hagrid secrets about Snape, that
would cost his life when Voldemort would know about it? Would he tell
Hagrid, whereas he doesn't tell any other member of the Order (we learn it
at the end of HBP - it was not only Harry, who never learnt the secret of
Dumbledores trust in Snape)?
