THEORY: Could Mrs. Norris be Filch's sister?

(Pre-script: I just thought of this new prefix. I don't think its nessicary, but it serves a purpose.)

Theory: Some have made theorized that Mrs. Norris may be an animagus (of course, some people may have theorized that Harry Potter is a reverse animagus whos really a spider monkey.) and that theory is reasonable. But here's a theory. Mrs. Norris could be Filch's sister, in animagus form. There's more. According to my theory, Filch is ALSO an animagus, and the two use their powers to catch troublemakers.

Explanation: Although the "unregistered animagus" card would be a repetitive card to play, it's concievable. Here's how I figured it. First I read:

> Filch owned a cat named Mrs. Norris, a scrawny, dust-colored creature with bulging,
> lamplike eys just like Filch's. She patrolled the corridores alone. Break a rule in front
> of her, put just one toe out of line, and she'd whisk off for Filch, who'd appear,
> wheezing, two seconds later.

At this moment I looked at that, and figured, "Hey wait, if Mrs. Norris looks like Filch, and is like a spy for him, what if they are ONE AND THE SAME?"

> Filch knew the secret passageways of the school better than anyone (except perhaps
> for the weasley twins) and could pop up as suddenly as any of the ghosts. The
> students all hated him, and it was the dearest ambition of many to give Mrs. Norris
> a good kick.

I then realized, "hey wait! We probably see Mrs. Norris and Filch at the same time, and Filch was walking around while Mrs. Norris was petrified, so my theories ruined. But still... HEY WAIT! What if they're twins, and they're both animagi?" (The twins theory changed from fraternal twins to mere siblings.)

And that's where I got the theory. I concocted one, disproved it, and quickly thought of another one. It explains why Filch cares so much for Mrs. Norris (although loving a pet is perfectly reasonable, loving a sibling is more so.) And it explains how Filch could "pop up as suddenly as any of the ghosts."

Of course, I have to admit, if I'm right, I have another question. "HOW MANY UNREGISTERED ANIMAGI ARE THERE ANYWAY?!?" Of course, the Filch siblings could be registered, but then Hermione would have noticed him (and his mysterious sister) on the infamous list of seven animagi.

So its an iffy theory at best. Well, what do you think, sirs?
