Argus Filch is a Squib, a child of wizard parents who has the inability to use magic.
He wouldn't punish him because Filch has never deviated from his character. Filch is a squib who can't use magic, so he has always hated students who could.
No, McGonagall wasn't Filch's mom. She never had a child. Filch belonged to a completely different wizarding family and was a squib.
Filch was Hogwarts' caretaker, but he was also a squib - a Muggle born from wizard parents (which may possibly be the case of Jacob Kowalski from Fantastic Beasts as well).
He was basically a muggle. Filch can't be in any house because he is a squib. But if he did magic, he'll probably go straight to Slytherin. He never attended Hogwarts as a student, he's a Squib meaning he cannot perform magic.
Squibs have been known to try and teach themselves magic
As it turns out, Filch is a Squib, and has been partaking in a 'Kwikspell' course: a set of magical lessons for wizarding beginners.
The opposite of a Muggle-born witch or wizard, a Squib is the child of wizarding parents with no magic powers of his or her own.
Norris is the pet cat of Argus Filch, the caretaker of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Mrs. Norris is described as having an unusually strong connection with her master, alerting him to any students misbehaving inside the school grounds.
In the fourth novel it is revealed that Hagrid is of mixed wizard and giant parentage, his mother having been the giantess Fridwulfa, who left his wizard father when Hagrid was a baby.
Albus Severus is the main character in "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child." He's the ugly duckling of the family, is sorted into Slytherin, befriends Scorpius Malfoy, and isn't good at magic. He's nicknamed "Albus Potter, the Slytherin Squib." Albus and his father have a tense relationship.
Later in the year, McGonagall duelled with Death Eater Alecto Carrow during the Battle in the Astronomy Tower and later learned of Snape's murder of Dumbledore. McGonagall was initially appointed as Headmistress, but was demoted after Voldemort took control of the school and placed Snape as Headmaster.
I've noticed several people asking this question online. The answer is: NO.
For example, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, Snape was reluctant to fight McGonagall when the latter took him to a duel in front of Hogwarts students. Both characters had their strengths, but the last Harry Potter movie proved Snape was the strongest Hogwarts professor.
“Dumbledore didn't want to lose his wand at that point and Draco disarmed him. So that meant that the wand gave Draco its allegiance, even though Draco never knew it, even though Draco never touched it. “From that moment on, that wand gave its allegiance to Draco, and it wouldn't work as well for anyone but Draco.”
Plus Shanghai style forthright personality, shallow, also is not a betrayal of the people.So it was Hagrid who Dumbledore trusted most at the moment. That was why, when professor McGonagall was in doubt, Dumbledore had told her quite firmly that he would trust Hagrid with his life.
First, he needed to clear Hagrid's name when he turned out to be innocent of opening the Chamber of Secrets. Dumbledore wanted people (mainly the parents of students) to trust Hagrid again. The second reason is that Hagrid does possess the required knowledge. I still would have hired Grubbly-Plank, though.
Moaning Myrtle
Born in the late 1920s to Muggle parents, Myrtle Warren started her Hogwarts life in the early 1940s, where she was sorted into Ravenclaw.
Weaknesses. After Hagrid was accused of opening the Chamber of Secrets, he was expelled and forbidden to do magic. His wand was also confiscated and snapped in half (the pieces were later reassembled and hidden in a pink umbrella, which never seems to be far from Hagrid).
People of this mixed parentage are called half-bloods; magical people with any Muggle ancestry on the one side or the other are half-bloods as well. The most prominent Muggle-born in the Harry Potter series is Hermione Granger, who was born to Muggles of undisclosed names.
Conclusion: Mrs Norris not an animal.” After discounting the theory that she is an Animagus (a human, like Professor McGonagall, that can shift into an animal by choice), the YouTube video says she must be a Maledictus, who was a witch before being permanently turned into a cat.
Mrs. Norris' looming presence in the Harry Potter series is far too magical for her to be an ordinary cat, and there's enough evidence to support a theory that she's a Maledictus like Nagini. Filch's nosy cat appears all throughout the book series and occasionally in the films.
No, Mrs. Norris couldn't see through the Invisibility Cloak. The only way we could see through it was probably, Mad-Eye Moody's magical eye.
The fan asked the author if Aunt Petunia was a Squib (a non-magical person who is born to at least one magical parent) and Rowling replied: "Good question. No, she is not, she is not a Squib. She is a Muggle.
Ariana wasn't a squib though, she sounds more like an Obscurial - the same as Credence. At 14-years-old, Ariana flew into a rage and her magical outburst killed Kendra. "Then, when she was fourteen ... see, I wasn't there," said Aberforth. "If I'd been there, I could have calmed her down.
A muggle-born is descended from a squib who married a muggle. But if two squibs were to marry and have a child, they would not have married a muggle, meaning the child isn't muggle-born per definition.
