Now AmanitaMuscaria writes: I certainly agree with you that Hogwarts
appears to be a home for castouts, waifs and strays who are in need
of refuge and protection.
Witness Dobby and Winky within canon.
But what about the joker in the pack? I know we can't say very much
about Peeves, as we've not been given much info about him. But he's
impossible, disruptive, chaotic. There MUST be some reason why
Dumbledore allows him to stay? And I suspect channeling the
suppressed aggression of pubescent girls isn't it.
There's no reference of him in the brief glimpses we've had of Tom's
schooldays and Dippett's headmastership, so presumably his residency
is fairly recent (in wizarding terms).
I don't know why he's there, but I reckon he's got to be important.
