Well, Hagrid lives at Hogwarts, so as long as he was still alive, James
could visit him; he wouldn't necessarily still be Groundskeeper/Care of
Magical Creatures professor. As for a life span -- I was under the
impression that giants didn't live very long ... but I don't know why I
think that, and I'm too lazy to pull out HBP, LOL! But JKR said
McGonagal, a wizard only three years older than Hagrid (according to
the Lexicon's calculations), was "getting on" in years and wasn't
headmaster (or teacher, I assume) -- so if she's too old to be
teaching, I would think Hagrid is, too, unless I'm WAY off-base and
giants live even longer than wizards.
