Filch's character also spotlights the multi-layered class divisions that exists within wizard society; human wizards top the hierarchy, while Squibs and non-human magical creatures occupy the descending levels. Readers have also seen that some wizards, like the Malfoys, believe an even finer distinction exists within the wizard strata, with pure-blooded wizards superior to Half-bloods and Muggle-borns. And among purebreds, there seems to be the belief that those with wealth and power reside at the apex. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and other characters continually encounter these social and racial prejudices.
 
The story's core plot line is also revealed here. Though Binns states the Chamber of Secrets doesis not existnon-existent, 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, possible explanations for Mrs. Norris being Petrified.
 
A bit more insight into Gilderoy Lockhart is offered here. Inside his office, we see 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 not dead, but merely Petrified, Lockhart suggests that he could whip up a restorative potion in short order, though he never does so. This boast irritates Snape, who of course, as [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Potions|Potions]] master, would assume any potion-making task to be his.
 
This also highlights Snape's dislike for Lockhart, who, by now, hasmost teachers have probably been dismissed as a fraud by most teachers; Snape likely shares that opinion. We suspect Professor Dumbledore is also aware, and he may have hired Lockhart only because he was the lone applicant (according to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]]). Considering that Snape, according to rumour, 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 chases it, 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.
