Abergoat says:
Interesting line of thought as to whether Irma is magical or not. I
guess her featherduster does make one question it. Some people believe
that she has bespelled the books in the restricted section to scream
if touched but we don't know that. So our only hint is when she gets
Lockhart's note from Hermione and the books let Hermione touch them.
That's a lot of ifs.

Ah, I just remembered. Isn't there something about Irma in the charity
books that makes it clear she is magical? But perhaps it just mentions
her aversion to writing in books and the giving of books about magic
to muggles.

I agree with you that Irma will be important in book seven. I assume
that JKR asked that she be included in the earlier films even though
she did little more than sit in the dining hall.
