I thought a little more while pouring over my stuudies, so I thought I 
might answer again:

Most of the books could be dedicated to the theme "How to detect 
invisible things". A simple method I can think off would be a spell 
(which, since it requires a wand, and I'm not sure Snape has one, he 
wouldn't be able to use when looking for Harry Potter throught the 
school at late hours of the night), or any other magical mean (which 
means Filch would never be able to use them, even in the unlikely eent 
he has actually read them), and would describe other methods: using 
kneazles (such as Filch's cat), and how to enchant a magical eyeball so 
that it's user could see through anything, invcluding invisibility 
cloaks...

My mother doesn't know how to operate the video. My grandmother doesn't 
know how to operate either a video or a computer. My great-grandparent 
probably thought cameras were modern technology. Someone who's 150 
years old wouldn't necesarily understand how does a reflex camera work. 
Maybe he's got a camera which doesn't present that "minor" problem 
(he's got it on the shelf, beside the put-outer, a lighter which 
doesn't ever run out of fuel, and it's called picture-restorer ;-) )

All these malevolent questions, and his thirst for trying to find 
flints instead of solving them surely puts him in Slytherin, don't you 
think? ;-)

Gray Wolf? *Gray* Wolf? Ohmygod what have I done to deserve this!

:-) Please, Please, try to write my name correctly. it's not THAT 
difficult! Then again, one of these days I'll present my second 
alter-ego (look for a pst made by me on T-BAY by the name "Gray Wolfe", 
so it could get confusing...

Hope that helps

*Grey* Wolf, who has filled his daily quota of smilies on this post 
alone.
