In 1993, his name was cleared through the efforts of Harry Potter and his friends. As a result Hagrid is fiercely loyal to Dumbledore, who has been heard to say that he “would trust Hagrid with my life” ( PS1). Albus Dumbledore, then the Transfiguration teacher at Hogwarts, arranged for him to stay on as gamekeeper, and took care of him.
This set him up to be framed by Tom Riddle for opening the Chamber of Secrets, and at the end of his third year he was expelled and his wand broken in two ( CS17). While at school he was known to be something of a troublemaker – among other things, raising an acromantula in the school. His childhood was difficult, as his mother Fridwulfa, a giantess, left the family when he was three, and his father died during Hagrid’s second year at Hogwarts ( GF23). The son of a human and a giantess, Hagrid tends to stick out ( PS6) and has been subjected to much prejudice ( GF24, OP15). He lives in a hut on the Hogwarts grounds near the Forbidden Forest with his pet boarhound, Fang ( PS8). Hagrid’s appearance is very intimidating, but his disposition is kind in fact, his soft heart tends to lead him to cry rather a lot ( PA11). He is excessively fond of “interesting creatures” - that anyone else would call fearsome monsters. Rubeus Hagrid is a half-giant with shaggy hair and a “wild, tangled beard” ( PS1) who serves as the Keeper of Keys and Grounds, Gamekeeper, and Care of Magical Creatures professor at Hogwarts ( PS4, PA6).
