That scene came pretty close to made me hate Hagrid completely. At
least it's ambigous enough, that I can still pretend, he was caring
for the students here, but sadly I *fear* you are right and he told
them not to hurt the spiders. Let's just say that I think it was a
very wise decision from JKR not to have the spiders kill anyone (at
least on-page), because it would IMO have been the destruction of
Hagrid as a character.

Lynda:

I never considered this. Not even for a second. That Hagrid was pleading for
the spiders, that is...
