I'm not sure that I totally agree Hagrid and Lockhart's teaching fiasco's were the same, though I can't deny they had the same result.
Hagrid never really lost control of Buckbeak save when a student specifically did the exact thing he had said not to do at the begining of the class. I don't see Hagrid's mistake here, except to be momentarily distracted and not stop Draco in time. But even afterwards, he was clearly in control of Buckbeak.
So, I don't know, it seems like it would be saying it was a teacher's mistake if the student not listening to the blow torch demonstration burned their hands off because they used it wrong. They were a moron and the reason we go over general safety is because the teacher can't watch 20 people at the same time.
So Hagrid went over general safety and Draco was a moron and got is armed wrecked.
To me, that differs radically from Lockhart who clearly understood nothing about the pixies or how to handle themm and he was the person who released them into the room in the first place. He never had any control over anything and if some pixie had gouged out a kids eye or something, he's be totally at fault. Esepcially for leaving the class room
Now, Hagrid in GoF, I don't know. The Blast ended thingies were dumb IMHO, and I don't understand, why if there's a ban on exrimental breeding, Hagrid's not in trouble. Besides that they were unknown, and dangerous. Ins't that kinda like Snape creating new potions and forcing the students to test them out on themselves?
