Mike:
No, Alla got it right! Carol, you had said that Hagrid wasn't under 
duress when he called Filch a Squib. I was pointing out the almost 
word for word insults Hermione and Hagrid endured. It is immaterial 
who made the comment, it was the reaction the insultee had to being 
insulted. Hermione ran away crying, clearly she was upset. Hagrid was 
just as clearly upset. Meaning Hagrid was provoked just like Snape 
was provoked. Not that being provoked should be a valid reason for 
either of them to use bigoted terms. 

<mea culpa, sorry for 2 "t"s in my previous, I got it stuck in my 
head - but that's no excuse ;) >

Mike:

If it isn't obvious by now, I'll just add that I agree with Alla 
regarding that greasy gits bigotry. And I'll also concur with 
everything Magpie said on this thread regarding use of bigoted terms. 
I don't see any reason to add any more, you've said it perfectly 
eloquently for me, ladies. :D
