Orna:
I won't argue with JKR. <g> That leaves Figgy as an option for late-
age magic. It's interesting – if it's Figgy – she's sure to be with 
the order. If this person is Filch, I'm not sure on whose side he 
will be – he has a nasty temper, so he might enjoy joining the DE. 
OTOH, he is part of Hogwarts, and therefore perhaps has some better 
qualities in himself – which weren't revealed until now. Perhaps his 
caring for Snape's leg in PS (Actually, why?), and his eternal love 
to Mrs. Norris, are signs of hope. 
I somehow think that if it turned out to be Filch – I'm sure it 
would be interesting, since he is such a bizarre person. I have a 
feeling, it would look something like Sir Cadogan's job. Figgy, 
OTOH, if she doesn't acquire late-age magic, I'm afraid, she'll be 
killed – having fulfilled her job on having an eye on Harry, until 
he's 17, she might be superfluous. Unless she just retires with her 
cats? Won't work too good in the heat of the war...

Orna:
I hope CH3ed didn't iron his hands, since his post helped clarify 
the issue, and I would feel guilty as hell. Enjoy your ice-cream!
