I don't think it's intended as a serious *threat*, but it's still completely out of line for him as a teacher. He's deliberately humiliating a student for one thing. I also think he's intending Draco to pick up on a threat here, even if Hagrid couldn't/wouldn't actually turn him into a ferret. But then, I've long thought that Hagrid's treatment of Draco was extremely similar to Snape's treatment of Harry.
