I always felt kind of bad that Hagrid did at least feel guilty initially over the Buckbeak thing (not over Ron getting an infected hand from his dragon, or the kids getting injured in GoF, or telling Harry and Ron to find Aragog the man-eater, of course, but Gryffindors like drama, I suppose, so bleeding got his attention.) and then the Trio and especially Dumbledore encourages him to shrug it off - hey, at least you didn't endanger anyone important this time! He's another Harry, where he could grow but he just gets encouraged to listen to his worst instincts. (And then we're supposed to feel bad for Harry and Hermione when he ropes them in to take care of Grawp? Um, no, you made your bed, go lie in it.)
