Doddie here:

Of course, I never considered this either...but I always felt that 
after Hagrid had chased them out of the castle he would have came 
back...but he didn't--he was carried off..(probably a good thing in 
the end as they(acro-clan) probably went to the "base camp" 
or "rendevouz point" Voldie had chosen in the forest....aragog's old 
den..

JKR however didn't let me down in the end...or you either...remember 
the thestrals and hippogriffs(who Hagger had trained) 
pecking/clawing the giants?!?!? I'd imagine most creatures in the 
forbidden forrest wouldn't attack Hagrid unless provoked and would 
probably come to his aid--(00ppps...perhaps his rant at the centaurs 
did more than the de's taunts or even Harry's "death"..)

And Hagrid being forced to carry Harry's seeming corpse out of the 
forrest..bought back memories of DD's funeral and all--just heart 
wrenching--all the more so after remembering Hagrid carrying 
DD..*teary sigh*

I also thought that JKR may have purposely left Hagrid alive 
because, how truly Hagrid forgives...(let's face it..the one safe 
place Pettigrew could have hoped to survive in POA was in Hagrid's 
hut, Buckbeak did attack Draco-yet Hagrid protected him, the 
acromantulas did attack Harry and Ron, after Aragog died Hagrid 
called the spiders a "bit restive" but never went out on a acro 
hunt,...he never voraciously sought to have his wand status 
reinstated after cos etc. .. perhaps we could all take a lesson from 
him(forgive and move on)...Harry certainly did. I just get the 
picture of Harry & Co. telling Hagrid about their adventure and when 
it came to Rita and DD's "history"...Hagrid saying "Cadswallop in my 
opinion" LOL and then all of them heading to the hogshead where the 
night ending with a rousing chourus of Aberforth and Hagrid singing 
tribute to "Odo"..

As you can see I gave this some thought..however each time I 
reread...I come to this point, and reach the same end in my head 
yippee...Hagrid will save his side from them!..but alas..much 
blushing a giggles ensue..LOL one day someone will ask JKR about 
this and I may be proved wrong..but I love being sadly mistaken, at 
least for now. :)
