Hagrid's dad died when RH was 6. When RH was expelled, did Dumble
plead his case to Dippet to have living quarters set up for him, or
did Dumbledore bring RH back only after Dumbledore became
headmaster?

ibchawz responds:

I thought Hagrid's dad died shortly after Hagrid started attending 
Hogwarts.  Certainly Hagrid did not start when he was 5 or 6, or did 
he?  I assumed that Hagrid was around 11 or 12 when his dad died.  I do 
seem to recall Hagrid stating that he could lift his dad and place him 
on top of some piece of furniture when he was 6.
