Bart:
Please, be fair to Snape. He only despises those whom he considers to be singificantly inferior to himself. Which includes just about everyone, with the probable exceptions of Voldy, Dumbledore,  Minny the Cat, Flitty, Sprout, Poppy, and POSSIBLY the Golden Ass (I wonder if Apelius had any influence on the naming of Malfoy, Sr.). Come to think of it, I don't recall him ever having a nasty thing to say about Hagrid. 

This may fit in with Hagrid being smarter than he appears to be. And he DID know Snape as a youngster. And (I'll have to double-check HBP for this one), I seem to remember that Hagrid was more shocked than anybody else about Snape killing Dumbledore. This is NOT a "ship", but I do suspect that there is somewhat more to the Snape/Hagrid relationship than we have been told, certainly more than, "DD trusts Snape, and Hagrid trusts DD".
