I've never really thought about Filch.  But as are so may of you, I too am re-reading all the books.  And you know, it does seem that he could be Voldy's "most trusted servant at Hogwarts."  He would know all the ins and outs and secrets as well.  In OOTP he is quite thrilled with DD's replacement and is happy to assist her.  Not to mention he is excited for real changes to be made and him being allowed to hang students by their ankles and the like.
