First off--I must commend your courage in reading this chapter again.
This acheivement should almost go on my tombstone!
I can only conclude, now that the series is over, that this whole storyline came about in order to have that moment at in OotP when Grawp rescues Harry and Hermione from the centaurs.
It totally, totally is and it's ridiculous. It could have been anything of Hagrid's that did it, even. He could have just adopted a Yeti or something. Instead we have to have this weird idea of Hagrid having an actual brother who's almost like someone with mental problems that he trains like an animal--and of course this whole chapter of world-building that the story can't really cover.
The appointment of Umbridge is the most effective thing he does, but only because she's insane--which Fudge probably didn't realize.
Yes--it only means anything because everyones overly-sensitive about Dumbledore. The whole world is against Harry, really. That's what it comes down to in the end.
