Alla:

I snipped your whole post, because I only would like to ask for 
examples of Hagrid treating Draco **just as badly** as Snape treats 
Harry and Neville.

My recollection is that nowhere Hagrid treats him just as badly, but 
I certainly can be wrong. Hagrid may not **like** him, that's for 
sure and I think after PoA he has a very good reason to do so, but I 
think it is a very good example where Hagrid does not let his 
personal dislike show off as blatantly as Snape does his. IMO of 
course.

And Harry does not come to his first lesson determined not to hear 
what Snape has to say, like Draco comes to that famous lesson 
determined not to listen to that big oaf. In fact, Draco comes to 
school having bad opinion of Hagrid withoutr ever seeing him before. 
And as far as I could see determined to act upon it. Ugh, if I were 
Hagrid, 
Draco would have gotten from me nice long detention for a year for 
not listening to safety instructions. Right after he comes back from 
hospital wing that is. Maybe that would have taught him something. 
Forbidden Forest 365 days a year.

Oh, and again before I have to go and defend Hagrid <g>, he is 
really 
far from my favorite characters and teachers. Nice guy, but too blah 
for me. But I again put him 
much higher than Snape on decent characters list, hehe.

JMO,

Alla.
