Rubeus Hagrid hit Dudley Dursley with a spell that gave him a pigs tail. Hagrid intended to turn him into a pig but as he was expelled at thirteen and his wand is in pieces, magic wasn't his strong point.
Dudley had to be taken to a private hospital to have the tail removed before he began his education at boarding school.
Hagrid was upset with Harry and Hermione because they had dropped his class.
hagrid is mad at the dursley because the dursley talk bad about dumbledore.
Gave him a pigs tail.
Out of his friends he met Ron Weasley first, but the first wizard dude he met was Hagrid, when the Dursleys moved to the shack in the middle of nowhere. Although until Harry was one, he was being looked after by his parents, then Hagrid, Dumbledore and Mcgonagle took him to the Dursleys. But he can only remember meeting Hagrid on his 11th birthday in the shack.
Rubeus Hagrid.
Like Ron explains to Harry afterwards, Madame Maxime became mad at Hagrid because she is offended when Hagrid asks her on which side of her family she has giant blood on. Giants are brutal, vicious, and animalistic creatures and being compared to them is indeed a great insult. Hagrid, though, was actually curious and was glad to meet another half-giant and did not mean to hurt Madame Maxime.
As far as I can remember, the books don't really analyze this question. However, there are a few points that may have helped Harry believing Hagrid:* Hagrid's personality may have helped. * Hagrid himself is "unbelievable", being a half-giant. * Hagrid did some magic himself. * The letter from Hogwarts. * Uncle Vernon's reaction to Hagrid wanting to tell Harry the truth. * Harry's previous experiences with magic (he had accidentally done magic, now and then).
Hagrid decided to buy Harry's animal and gift it to him as a birthday present. Hagrid is allergic to cats as they make him sneeze and Toads were old fashioned, students would have laughed at and made fun of Harry and Hagrid didn't want that

Harry Potter was taken away after Voldemort had tried to kill him by Hagrid to Dumbledor and the Dursleys. Sirius Black was the one whom lent Hagrid the flying motor bike.
Hagrid mentioned Harry falling asleep as they were flying over Bristol.
He was told by Hagrid, after the Dursleys had lied to him that they died in a car crash, so he did know they died, but just didnt know how. Until Hagrid told him of course.

The bike belonged to Sirius Black. Hagrid met him outside the Potter's house and Sirius gave Hagrid the bike to transport Harry, saying he wouldn't need it anymore as he knew he would be blamed for Lily and James death.
Among the many facts that Harry Potter learned from Rubeus Hagrid are that Harry is a wizard and that his parents were not killed in a car crash, but murdered by Lord Voldemort.
