Here we see the pay-off to the set-up thatthe wasauthor 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.
 
AFilch's actions also focuses attention on a recurring theme throughout the series is: how innocent and vulnerable people (and non-humans) can be easily accused of and punished for crimes they never committed. Here, Filch, already biased against Harry (and most students), claims heHarry petrified his cat, Mrs. Norris, even though there is virtually no evidence other than Harry's wasearly arrival on the firstscene. personFortunately tofor arriveHarry, onFilch theis scenegenerally disbelieved.

He will also learn that those who wield power and wealth are usually considered more credible, often enabling them to influence events to their advantage.
 
The story's core plot line is also revealed here. Though Binns states the Chamber of Secrets does not exist, and that multiple headmasters spent years searching for it without finding so much as a Broom-closet of Secrets, it is evident to the reader, as well as the students, that the Chamber does exist and a monster dwells within. There could be few, if any, other possible explanations for Mrs. Norris being Petrified. ▼
 
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.
 
This also highlights Snape's dislike for Lockhart. By now, most teachers have probably dismissed Lockhart as a fraud, and Snape likely shares that opinion. We suspect Professor Dumbledore is also aware, and may have hired Lockhart because he was the only applicant (according to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]]). Considering that Snape has always desired that position, it seems particularly revealing that Dumbledore would instead hire someone as incompetent as Lockhart rather than appoint Snape. We should also note that Snape was particularly irritated by Harry's fame in the previous book; it was Harry's celebrity that Snape dwelt on in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Philosopher's Stone/Chapter 8|Harry's first Potions lesson]]. Harry avoids the spotlight, but Lockhart does not, and almost everything he does is aimed at gaining him more attention. This can only increase Snape's dislike of Lockhart, a dislike heightened even more by Lockhart's self-serving attempt to usurp Snape's duties.
