I can't remember who told me this but I have read it in books since: a poltergeist is some sort of spiritual energy, it was never human. The energy is subconsciously created by teenage girls, especially those that are depressed or have very strong feelings at the time and given the amount of teenage girls at the school it is possible this could be the case with Peeves.
Also the fact he seems to be colour rather than grey/silver/transparent like the other ghosts shows that he is not quite the same. He is always described as wearing bright colours (see CofS - NHN's deathday party) while the ghosts themselves, even their clothes are grey/silver/transparent.
