Heh. I wanted to write a post about Filch and it suddenly took a turn and I
was Snape-talking again... Glad it's not just me <g>

I finally got my PS back, after several weeks of absence in which I missed
it direly... Oh, well, on with the important part.

What do we know about the relationship between Filch and Snape? Both are
hated by the students, one for being severe, strict and sometimes cruel, the
other one for being a nasty pest. There seemse to be no link between them.
But in PS, when Snape gets hurt, he goes to Filch who takes care for the
Fluffy-bitten leg. So Severus surely had to tell him what *exactly* he was
doing, or not? Why? Because he trusts Filch? Or because he thinks Filch
might be associated with the DL (no clues given here) and he wants to
protect his spy status? So he pretends he wanted to find out how save the
Stone actually was, or even present it to his former master and help him to
rise again?

In CoS when Mrs. Norris is stunned by the Basilisk Snape is there on Flichs
side - and he seems angry, very angry. On Filch's behalf?

I think there might be more to Filch than meets the eye...

Snape, like Flitwick, started the class by taking the register, and like
Flitwick, he paused at Harry's name.
"Ah, yes," he said softly, "Harry Potter. Our new - celebrity."         -
