Hagrid seemed to be one of their favourite members of the staff, as he had a sense of humour and was not anywhere near as strict as many of the professors, though he mentioned that he spent "half his life" chasing the twins away from the Forbidden Forest. Professor Rubeus Hagrid (b. 6 December, 1928[7][8]) was a half-giant wizard, son of Mr Hagrid and the giantess Fridwulfa, and elder half-brother of the giant Grawp. Dumbledore said that he would only truly have left Hogwarts when none there were loyal to him. After his death, when the school’s future was in doubt, Hagrid declared he wasn’t going anywhere. Hagrid stays passively in his job and takes naughty NEWT students to detention in the Forest.
Dumbledore sent him on a mission
In the sixth novel, Harry, Ron, and Hermione are no longer students of Care of Magical Creatures, and Hagrid is both angry and disappointed with them during the first part of the book, but he soon realises that it is not because they do not like him. Later in the novel, Aragog dies, and Hagrid risks his life to recover the Acromantula's body to give it a proper funeral. After the funeral, he and Horace Slughorn drink excessive amounts of Firewhisky, and Harry takes advantage of this situation (under the influence of Felix Felicis potion, otherwise known as "liquid luck") to retrieve a certain memory from Slughorn.

Sure enough, when it came to fetching Harry, it was Hagrid on a flying motorbike that Dumbledore trusted. As Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts, it makes sense that he might not have mastered the art of casting a Patronus. Indeed, you can read here that ‘the majority of witches and wizards are unable to produce Patronuses and to do so is generally considered a mark of superior magical ability’.

Also, Mcgonagall showed no disdain when Hagrid drunkenly kissed her on the cheek at a Hogwarts Christmas celebration. Dumbledore also trusted him to move the Philosopher's Stone from Gringotts Wizarding Bank to the school, and believed Hagrid could offer Harry as much protection as "a bunch" of Ministry Aurors could while shopping in Diagon Alley, in 1996. In 1995, Dumbledore gave Hagrid the difficult task of approaching the giant colonies of the North and dissuading them joining forces with Lord Voldemort, knowing Hagrid was fully capable of the delicate handling required to court the Gurg. Hagrid had a good relationship with most of his pets, most notably Fang, Aragog and Buckbeak. Arthur Weasley had helped Hagrid make several adjustments to the bike, including adding a button that produced dragon's fire, one that produced a net, and another that produced a solid wall, all of which materialised behind the bike by expanding out of its exhaust pipe.

Ten years later, he is tasked to bring the Philosopher’s Stone from Gringotts to Hogwarts, and provides the three-headed dog Fluffy to guard it. Dumbledore also gives him the task of locating Harry, helping him to find his bearings in the wizarding world and to buy his school things. Hagrid is the first member of the Hogwarts staff to be introduced to Harry before he began attending the school. Later in the book, a hooded person (Quirinus Quirrell in disguise) gives him a dragon egg to elicit details about Fluffy. Hagrid lets slip to Harry, Ron, and Hermione that the way to get past Fluffy is to play music, for which they use the flute Hagrid himself carved for Harry, which allows them to pursue the potential thief.
Hagrid was among the thirteen members of the Order of the Phoenix, led by Alastor Moody, that made up the Advance Guard. Knowing that any Death Eaters watching out for them would assume the most skilled Auror would be moving with the real Harry, Alastor Moody took Mundungus Fletcher, while Hagrid was given the important task of protecting the real Harry in the side-car of Sirius Black's old motorcycle. Near the end of the battle, Death Eater Thorfinn Rowle set Hagrid's hut on fire while the Death Eaters were fleeing the school grounds. Hagrid was grief-stricken about Dumbledore's death, having been his strongest supporter. Hagrid carried Dumbledore's body to be interred at his funeral, and later, Hagrid and Madame Maxime were seen comforting one another.
times Rubeus Hagrid saw the best in things
Later, at the Battle of Hogwarts, Rubeus is whisked away by Aragog’s children, as if the Acromantulas cannot bear to see him harmed. Hagrid owes Tom Riddle a punch on the nose, if such a thing were possible, but when he finally enters the fight, another personal vendetta, Hagrid unleashes hell on Walden Macnair, the would-be executioner of Buckbeak who scuppered his dealings with the giants. Ten years later in 1991, Hagrid went to a hut on a rock to give Harry his acceptance letter for Hogwarts. Hagrid confronts and threatens Vernon, who along with his wife tried to keep Harry from learning the truth. Vernon also makes Hagrid angrier by insulting Albus Dumbledore in front of the half-giant. During this trip, Hagrid bought Harry a snowy owl for his eleventh birthday, which Harry later named Hedwig.

He reluctantly releases Karkaroff at Dumbledore's insistence, and is asked to escort Harry back to the castle. He is furious about Karkaroff's accusations, and is no less angry with Madame Maxime for trying to persuade him to tell her about the third task. Hagrid takes Harry to a bustling Muggle street in London, where they enter the Leaky Cauldron pub. He tells Tom, the barman, that he is there on official Hogwarts business, clapping Harry on the shoulder. Hagrid beams as those in the pub greet Harry, and introduces him to Professor Quirrell. He leads Harry to a walled courtyard at the back of the Leaky Cauldron, and uses his umbrella to tap a brick in the wall, making the entrance to Diagon Alley reveal itself.
Second Wizarding War
Hagrid had been a good friend of Harry Potter's parents, Lily and James, since the time they attended Hogwarts; he admired them for being amongst the best wizards and witches of their age. On the way back to the school, Hagrid expressed his fury with the centaurs for staying out of the fight, prompting them to join in soon after. Hagrid also met Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley through Harry, and he presumably remained in touch with all three of them well after their time at Hogwarts, as in 2017, Harry reminded his son, Albus, that he had been invited to Hagrid's hut for tea upon his arrival at Hogwarts.
Snape on the other hand defected from Voldemort and Hagrid defended him whenever Harry, Ron and Hermione criticised him, except when he temporarily believed that Snape betrayed Dumbledore by killing him before learning of his true loyalties in the final battle. Hagrid was disgusted by the Malfoy family's pure blood supremacist values, their open ill-treatment of Muggle-borns and "blood traitors," their allegiance to Lord Voldemort and their disrespect to Albus Dumbledore. Hagrid was sent by Albus Dumbledore to inform Harry Potter of his true identity on Harry's eleventh birthday in 1991, after it was revealed that Hogwarts' letters to him were getting blocked by his aunt and uncle, Vernon and Petunia Dursley, both muggles and magic-haters.
Hagrid briefly had a pet dragon named Norbert although since dragons were illegal, Hagrid reluctantly allowed Norbert to be sent to Charlie in Romania. Hagrid also owned a three headed dog named Fluffy although it is unknown what relationship he had with him. About halfway through the school year, Hagrid returned from his mission for Dumbledore with his half-brother, Grawp. In 1995, Dolores Umbridge was brought in as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and later became the first and only Hogwarts High Inquisitor.
