Filch, being a squib, wouldn't have been admitted to Hogwarts and hence 
wouldn't have any house at all.

I believe that this scene was filmed at the chained library at Oxford.  
Pre-Gutenberg, books were so valuable that they were actually chained to the 
walls or shelves.  There's another famous one at Hereford, I believe.

Nor would my daughter, and she's read the book 3 times. She's convinced that 
since "Lee" is an androgynous name, they've made Lee a girl!

My Tudor-obsessed daughter spotted a portrait of Anne Boleyn just to the 
right of the entrance to Gryffindor!

In the discussion just before the Sorting, he reveals himself to be a big fat 
bigot, so he's ostracized on principle, not because of the way he has treated a 
specific classmate. IMHO, Hermione is just acting disgusted with Ron's talking 
with his mouth full, which is MUCH easier to amend.
