Alla:

My only point is that Hagrid's hipogriff and his job were not 
supposed to be in danger in the first place IMO. Yes, Hagrid got 
them, but **not** in any thanks to Draco, no?

In fact only thanks to Trio and Dumbledore IMO. I am also not sure 
what you mean that Draco's behaviour has nothing to do with Hagrid?

Hagrid is the one who suffers **because** of Draco's behaviour, no? 
Draco's behaviour directed **towards** Hagrid and Buckbeak.

And it really did not seem to me that Hagrid had more power than 
Malfoys. It seemed to me that but for Harry and Hermione ( and of 
course DD) Buckbeak would have been dead and Hagrid fired.

As I said again, I do not think that Hagrid is a good teacher, but do 
I think that he could have been at least decent but for what hapened 
to him?

Yes, I do.

JMO,
