I loved Hagrid. I think he's a good person.
But I loath him as a teacher. I always felt like it was written in a way that we knew he wasn't a good one, but we were also supposed to be on his side? Harry and Ron being all annoyed with people who thought the substitute teacher was better than him was also annoying. Does that make any sense?

Yeah, I kind of felt that too. As anything but a teacher I can empathize, and in a way I can also understand their feelings - they cared for him, and it was obvious he was trying. Their reactions were very believable, but... he really wasn't a very good teacher.

Well, he was a bad teacher,but we know he's a good guy who was really excited about getting the position, and really passionate about the animals. We also know that Malfoy, who is trying to screw him over, is doing it (mostly) unjustly, and out of cruelty. So Hagrid's a bad teacher, but not for lack of heart or knowledge, and that makes it easier to feel bad for him when things don't work out. Especially when the antagonist is one of the bad guys.

But--Harry is also portrayed as realizing Hagrid is not the best at his job of Professor. I don't think that fits in with "we were also supposed to be on his side."
