Where was Hagrid?

> Here's something I've often wondered about:  In POA, at the 
Christmas dinner, Hagrid wasn't around.  Nothing is said about 
why he wasn't there, and nobody seems to miss him.  I wonder if 
this is an oversight on JKR's part, or if it's significant?  
Thoughts?

Goddlefrood:

It seems probable that Hagrid was not in a festive mood. He was
mostly brooding over Buckbeak at that time and was not very good
or cheerful company for anyone throughout the larger part of PoA
as a result :(

I don't think there was anything more sinister than that in it.

Others may hold different views ;)
