Filch and Mrs. Norris

[Eric Oppen]

I was just re-re-re-reading the _His Dark Materials_ trilogy, and a thought
occurred to me:

What if Mrs. Norris has some part of Mr. Filch's soul?  Think of Lyra's bond
with her daemon, Pantalaimon---he _is_ her soul, in a visible embodiment.

That would explain how Mr. Filch knows so much about what Mrs. Norris
sees...in a way, he sees through her eyes.

--Eric, who has another explanation for Wormtail's silver hand.  I think
that V-mort knew about W-tail's love life, and decided to do him a favor by
allowing him to come into money.
