User blog:Siyuan Shen/Harry Potter cold fact: why did Dumbledore send Hagrid to escort Harry to aunt Petunia's house

Young Harry Potter had just lost his parents and had to stay with his blood relatives to maintain his mother lily's guardian magic, so Dumbledore arranged for Hagrid to escort Harry to aunt Petunia, Harry's only blood relative.And as Harry turns 17 and faces the grim prospect of lily's guardian magic failing as an adult, the order of the phoenix displaces Harry, and it's Hagrid who escorts the real Harry out of here.So why was Harry escorted to and from his aunt's house by Hagrid?I think there may be the following reasons:

Hagrid was loyal
The Potters had been hidden under the fidelius charm, and Voldemort would not have been able to find the Potters without someone telling them.However, the fact that Voldemort had knocked on the door and killed the Potters suggested that there was a traitor on the order's side.With the Potters' most trusted man (Sirius black, as everyone agreed at that time) betraying his friends and the order, Dumbledore was afraid to trust anyone around him.Dumbledore has kept Hagrid working and living at Hogwarts ever since he was expelled from the school after being set up by Voldemort, which makes Hagrid grateful and loyal to Dumbledore.Plus Shanghai style forthright personality, shallow, also is not a betrayal of the people.So it was Hagrid who Dumbledore trusted most at the moment.That was why, when professor McGonagall was in doubt, Dumbledore had told her quite firmly that he would trust Hagrid with his life.

Hagrid is powerful
Voldemort's fall and the dawn of the British wizarding world were the most turbulent and dangerous.The Longbottoms are kidnapped, tortured and driven mad by the Bellatrixs and Barty crouch jr.The dispute between Sirius and Pettigrew had blown up most of the street, killing a dozen people...Dumbledore, not blinded by the overwhelming celebration of most wizards after Voldemort's fall, is aware of the turmoil and insecurity in the wizarding world, so he sends Hagrid to escort Harry.Despite his simple and honest appearance, Hagrid's abilities are among the best in the order, such as his ability to subdue dangerous magical creatures (see Newt Scamander in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them) and his ability to survive Umbridge's siege.With the exception of powerful wizards of Dumbledore's and Voldemort's class, few can really take Harry from Hagrid.

The advantages of the hybrid giant
Hagrid has giant blood, as a hybrid giant, in addition to his natural strength, he also has the giant blood to give magic resistance and fight ability.In the order of the phoenix, when Umbridge was leading a siege against Hagrid, professor McGonagall rose to her defence and was hit by a number of spells from Umbridge and others, which severely injured her on the spot and took a long time to recover from in hospital.Professor McGonagall is undoubtedly a powerful wizard, but there is a mortal problem with wizards -- the brittle skin of high attack and low defense. Even though they are powerful, their bodies are still fragile.Hagrid had the advantage of being a giant, which made him better able to guard Harry.For few people besides Voldemort and Dumbledore had been able to prevent Hagrid from hurting Harry.Add to that Hagrid's size, and he's better able to provide cover for Harry, or even cover for him if necessary.Note: Harry's retreat toward adulthood, judging from Snape's deathbed memories, was still the result of Dumbledore's planning.Although Dumbledore was dead, he had left behind him all sorts of back hands to make Voldemort's plans clear.

Rowling's writing is consistent
J.K. Rowling also made the arrangement for Hagrid to pick up and drop off Harry out of an echo of her writing.Hagrid appeared several times, all at the most important turning points in Harry's life.The orphaned Harry is escorted to aunt Petunia's house by Hagrid (who transports Harry from the wizarding world to the muggle world);Harry's guide to Hogwarts is Hagrid (who leads Harry back into the wizarding world);Harry's retreat as he approaches adulthood, with Hagrid escorting Harry through the siege (Hagrid accompanying Harry through the muggle world).It is precisely because of the importance of Hagrid to Harry's life that Harry and Hagrid become the closest friends (personally, Harry's affection for Hagrid is irreplaceable by both RON and Hermione).
