aussie:
Not only did Hagrid call Filch "that old git" after Harry's 1st 
week, but he told Filch off for lecturing the students in detention 
that were going into the forest that night.

Hagrid and Filch have had an on-going dislike/distrust for one 
another since WAY before book 1. 

When did Filch start at Hogwarts?
When did Hagrid start?

Hagrid was expelled when he was 13, but did he live there like 
Trelawny after loosing her position? Was he invited back to Hogwarts 
as caretaker only after Dumbledore took over from Dippet?

Were the Good old days for Filch in James and Sirius's year? did 
they feel Filch's chains and Manacles that are kept oiled just in 
case?
