CS pg.128 Filch " 'The vanishing cabinet was extremely valuable!', he 
said gleefully to Mrs. Norris"

Ok I have never posted anything but I would really like to get some 
feedback on this theory. I am rereading CS for like the 4th time and I 
just noticed this comment.It is I believe the first mention of the 
vanishing cabinet that proves to be soo important in the 6th book. 

This quote is part of my theory that Filch is bad news. I have been 
wondering why Rowling spends so much time telling us that Filch is a 
squib. This is also where Harry learns what a squib is. I kind of 
combined this chapter with proof we have in OOP that Filch has no 
loyalty to Dumbledore and somthing I have heard that Rowling says 
someone in the books will practice magic late in life. Now I believe 
that Hogwarts contains a few of the horcruxes and Filch is the 
caretaker of Hogwarts. I might be wrong, but it appears to me that 
Filch was around before Dumbledore was headmaster, maybe even when 
Riddle was a student, but definitely when he cam back to ask for the 
DADA position. That is the time many think that Riddle would have 
placed the horcruxes in Hogwarts. Basically my theory is tha Filch has 
helped Riddle before with his horcruxes. It all comes around to the 
fact that I believe he helped Draco with the vanishing cabinets. I 
believe Rowling makes such a big deal of him being a squib in order 
make us think he is no threat. This would also explain his 
extrordinary dislike of Harry. I could be completely wrong but there 
seem to be a lot of hints.
