Is Hagrid's name different in other language versions or something?

My opinion of Hagrid has changed a fair bit since I first read the books. I wanted Harry to live with him rather than the Dursleys back then. I think Hagrid would have been a nicer adoptive parent, but I'm not sure Harry would have survived the experience. He's better suited as the crazy uncle type. He doesn't have a great awareness of how fragile regular young wizards and witches are, probably because he's never been one.

My vote is McGonagall. She's stern, but caring. She's good with kids. I understand she's widowed herself, so she knows about loss and loneliness. She knew his parents and would have been able to tell him about them. I think she would have made sure he had friends his own age before he started school too.

I mean I would read all of these fics. I would read Hagrid adopts Harry fics, I would read Remus adopts Harry fics, I would read Sirius adopts Harry fics, I would read McGonnagal adopts Harry fics. I would probably read a Tonks adopts Harry fic even though I don't even know how the mechanics of that would work out. (I probably wouldn't read a Snape adopts Harry fic but that's only because such a fic would inevitably have a totally different interpretation of Snape than I do)

The basic concept of Harry having a strong stable adult figure who cares for him and bonding with that character is just fantastic stuff and there's more than enough interesting adult characters in the series to do it with

wait, she's widowed?? I always thought she was just a badass spinster. huh. TIL.

Yep! Its something that came from the Pottermore website as released background information I believe.

Not only did she marry but she married after the end of the First Wizarding War/Voldemort's disappearance in the '80s which always struck me as kind of interesting because it meant she married in her late 40s.

Less impressive was that JK had her widowed after 3 years of marriage because her husband died via Venomous Tentacula bite. It just seemed like a pointless death to me when, considering we only knew what Harry knew, Minerva could have been married the whole time. Most students rarely register their teachers as having lives outside of the classroom after all.
