need not have known that Harry had done it, and Hargrid just would 
have thought he had gained some confidence now that Voldemort was 
dead, or that his death had changed something significant about the 
wizarding world itself. I would have loved to see more of Hagrid 
after the battle.

Doddie here:

Harry couldn't have done this..DD already repaired Hagrid's wand 
with the Elder wand years ago, and gave it a disguise. I'm sure DD 
probably gave Hagrid lessons too.(Just like he did with Harry only 
probably had a great deal more "how to cast certain spells" focus as 
opposed to a Tom Riddle focus.). I do think that the post final 
battle years Harry & Co. will clear all names that need clearing and 
records that need to be wiped clean will be so, and those that need 
dirting up will. (everyone from Hagrid, to Snape to Sirius).

However as sentimental as Hagrid is I don't think he'd want the 
flowery part of his wand stripped away...it's wrapped up with too 
many memories of DD...It be like putting flowery embroidery, or a 
Chudley Cannons badge on the sorting hat, or swapping out the rubies 
for diamonds in the Sword of Griphindor...it won't make them more 
valuable or functional and most would consider it sacrilidge.
