Argus Filch

I thought Filch was a "failed" wizard, which would imply that perhaps 
he was a student at one time at Hogwarts, but failed to make the 
grade...unlike Hagrid who was ousted for being falsely accused of 
killing Moaning Myrtle.

I do think there is something about Mrs. Norris....perhaps she's 
Filch's wife who was "cursed" for some inane reason and DD decided to 
keep them both as punishment....didn't Filch say, in SS, that he sure 
did "miss the screaming"? That "there was a time when the students 
would have hung in the dungeons as punishment"? Makes you wonder, 
just what kind of school Hogwarts was before DD took over!

It could also explain the reasoning of the Ministry of Magic in OOTP!
They aren't exactly a likeable bunch there either!

djrfdh....methinks the plot thickens!
