There's this from chapter 12 of PoA

"Another boggart," said Lupin, stripping off his cloak. "I've been 
combing the castle ever since Tuesday , and very luckily, I found 
this one lurking inside Mr. Filch's filing cabinet....

(Hey! Maybe  Lupin was looking for the Map!)

..I can store him in my office when we're not using him; there's a 
cupboard under my desk he'll like."

Lupin sounds rather solicitous of the boggart here. It seems odd 
to me. If the critters are dangerous, why risk keeping it in the 
office between lessons?  If they aren't really so bad, why  did he 
kill the other one? It sounds a bit callous. You could be right 
about the grindylow...but then why not reveal its fate?
