Author's Note: Does no one wonder or care about Argus Filch, caretaker of Hogwarts? I didn't either, until I wrote this.
One might have said of Argus Filch that he “hated Christmas, the whole Christmas seasonâ€

Interesting. Filch in juxtaposition with Christmas carols feels so odd. You do a good job of getting inside the character and fleshing out a back story while also developing the current character.
I haven't ever heard this carol:
'Once in royal David’s city stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her baby in a manger for his bed:
Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child.'

Thanks for the comments! To use Rowling's words, when I started writing this story, Argus Filch just sort of "walked into my mind, fully formed."
Really? You've never heard "Once in Royal David's City"? It's been a favorite of my family's for almost as long as I can remember, so I guess I'd just assumed it was popular everywhere. If I was with you in person, I'd sing it for you ^_^
