[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Question about Pure Bloods and House of Slytherin

[kemper mentor]

> Take "enemies of the heir" apart instead of analyzing it as a set 

 phrase. He [reasonably, if incorrectly] believes the 'heir' to be 

 someone who is currently a student. He [again, reasonably] believes that 

 all the students at Hogwarts see him as their enemy (though he 

 apparently believes this to be due to prejudice against him as a squib, 

 rather than, say, his winning personality) . And his cat has just been, 

 so far as anyone knows, deliberately attacked.


Kemper now:
But the phase suggests more than one, 'enemies', and there are not two or more Mr. Filches.  Unless you are saying that it is Mr. Filch and Mrs. Norris who are the 'enemies'... which honestly, doesn't sound very reasonable even for Filch.  Plus, the cat was already taken out, so the phrase would have to change to 'enemy' of the heir.

I think it is more reasonable for Mr. Filch to have heard of the Chamber of Secrets and what had happened 50 years earlier to a Muggleborn witch in the girl's bathroom.
