Happy New Year one and all!

Funny you should mention this but I've been thinking about Argus 
Filch. Ok say 'Argus' comes from a hundred eyes pretty useful for his 
policing role in Hogwarts but what about 'Filch' as in to be light 
fingered?

So DD is pretty sure Voldy didn't get into Hogwarts to mess with 
Godric's gear but Filch could have 'lent' him something during his 
stay. Filch, no lover of the new age approach would surely approve of 
Voldy's leadership style and as a squib his feelings towards mud 
bloods is likely to be complex...

If Filch slipped Voldy Godric's sword to be HRXed he's in fairly deep, 
as caretaker of Hogwarts he's likely to be around even if the school 
is closed and he provides a handy plot device for bringing Hogwarts 
back into play.

As to discovering latent magical talent why not in defence of Mrs 
Norris?

I still wish it were Petunia though! Sigh.
