Hagrid was expelled from hogwarts for opening the chamber of secrets the first time and his wand was broken and all that. i know he uses magic now illegally but when harry proves that it was tom riddle who really opened the chamber why doesn't hagrid get his magical powers back officially??

I'm pretty sure Hagrid uses magic legally with his umbrella?

From my readings in the first book, he uses his powers with the umbrella, but only for little things? I mean everytime he goes to use it, he asks Harry not to inform the MoM about it.

Well, Hagrid was framed, got expelled which led to his wand being taken away. Even after they found out it wasn't really Hagrid, a lot of damage was already done. The Ministry is never too proud to admit any of their mistakes.

The story of Hagrid is following:

He was a student of third year in Hogwarts. He had a spider called Aragog. It was fifth year of Tom Riddle and found out that he was the hier of Slytherin, he was Hogwarts head boy and before Slytherin prefect, Riddle was a smart boy and probably one of the best Hogwarts student there ever were. Anyway Riddle opend Chamber Of Secrets and basilisk killed Mouning Murtle so if Hogwarts didn't find the person responsible for the death of Mouning Hogwarts would be closed so Riddle blaimed Hagrid and his spider Aragog so Hagrid was expelled but they didn't broke his wand. He has his wand is his umbrella. What happend 50 years later you all probably know. Also I should mention that Riddle later put his horcrux into his diary. Riddle was later called Lord Voldemort.

But Hagrid was never very good at magic anyway. So whether he can do it legally or not now isn't the real issue. He was doing all his stuff anyway and never got caught now he can do it and still never get caught. Not a very big deal.

Mynameiskerry_xo has a good point on the Ministries deniel that it makes mistakes. It could, but doutabley, be that he had never finished his training and therefor not be qualified to use magic. It would kind of be like taking a full grown man and just give him a license when he's never driven befor. Total chaois. I still leen more to the Ministry with holding by pride.
