Here we see the pay-off to the set-up that was made when Argus Filch's Kwikspell course was previously discovered. Filch is a Squib, which is why he bought a beginner's magic course. Squibs, having no magical powers, are educated differently than Wizards, and this has left Filch a bitter man. Year after year, he sees children, including some that may have come from his own family, enter Hogwarts, be trained in the magic he can never know, then leave for careers he possibly once dreamed of, while always remaining behind. Being a Squib is a horrible half life, knowing the magic world exists, but despite being surrounded by it, never participating magically. And while Filch's attempt to learn magic seems a desperate act, it may not be as entirely futile as it appears; the author has revealed in interviews that in rare instances, a person's magical ability can suddenly appear later in life. Filch may be harboring such a hope, though, at his age, that possibility is virtually non-existent.
 
A recurring theme throughout the series is innocent people being accused and punished for something they never did. Here, Filch accuses Harry of petrifying his cat, even though there is virtually no evidence other than Harry was the first person to arrive on the scene. Later in the series, Harry will again fall under suspicion for various situations, as will other characters who, betrayed by someone they know, were punished for crimes they never committed.
 
We are also granted a bit more insight into Gilderoy Lockhart. Inside his office, his pictures whisk themselves from their frames, hiding, when Harry and the others enter; some, overcome by curiosity, reappear later, and Harry notes a few are wearing hairnets. This may reflect something about Lockhart's true nature. Lockhart himself, rather than helping with the investigation, babbles on about deaths he has supposedly prevented. When Mrs. Norris is found to be merely petrified, Lockhart suggests that he could whip up a restorative potion in short order, though he never does so. This also irritates Snape, who of course, as Potions master, would assume any potion-making task to be his.
