I actually think that Filch is the most likely candidate for
realisation of some "late in life" magic ability.  If Hogwarts comes
under any sort of peril in the next books, then he's like to be in
close proximity to physical danger, and those Kwikspell courses may
have actually been able to teach him a thing or two.  Who knows, maybe
having Filch doing a bit of magic might make him even seem somewhat
sympathetic?
