Hagrid can't side along app with someone?
Hagrid wasn´t meant to do magic in front of Harry!!! He says so when
he makes the boat faster.
Dumbledore is probably aware and doesn't mind Hagrid's tendency to do
magic as long as he is discrete about it.
I personally think all of that is nonsense. To begin with, Hogwarts is not even an obligation. So, I attend the Cooking School and I blow up one of the kitchens (in my case, that's very possible): I got expelled and I can't cook again? Why if my mother teaches me? I might learn better with her, open a family restaurant and have still good results. The same goes for Hogwarts: I don't see a reason why couldn't he still continue to study personally with Dumbledore or someone else. I repeat, Hogwarts is not an obligation. Even Filch tried to learn by his own.

Well, wizarding law is different. Once you choose to go, you're bound
by its rules for the next seven years. And if you chose Hogwarts, you
might forfeit all other teachings. So an expelled person is too
dangerous to be allowed continual sue of magic.

Hardly. Hogwarts doesn't accept transfer students, but it is reported several times that Durmstrang does.
