My impression was that Filch was something of a sadist, who enjoys 
torturing children. I suppose that it is possible, perhaps even 
likely, that there is more to it than that. Perhaps he has been 
cursed in some way, or charged with some task. Could it be a 
punishment for something? Or could it be voluntary, such as in 
exchange for something he wants.

He does seem a bit over attached to 'Mrs. Norris' for her to be just 
a cat. Maybe she has been cursed to take on feline form and forever 
remain at Hogwarts and Filch remains in order to be near her?

This is all speculation by the way, and really nothing more. 
Hopefull it will jumpstart a discussion on this topic which I find 
rather interesting. There seems to be so many possibilies.

ps. I am new here, I do hope there aren't any other members with the 
same name as me. If there are, I will certainly revise it to prevent 
any confusion.
