Hi Tom, I think only in the last book did Harry use a spell on Filch. a jinx that glued the tongue to the roof of the mouth (which he had twice used, to general applause, on an unsuspecting Argus Filch); Harry could have snuck up behind him and used that non-verbal hang upside down spell on him too. Of course Sarah would not know of these spells as they were created by the HBP.
I was originally going to have Sarah start the game with only three spells and then give her the rest when she read about them in the library, but realized the being a graduate from Salem school of Witchcraft, she should know more spells than three. So now she knows thirteen, and she does need to practice the Patronis spell to get longer lasting ones and reading the books gives her more of the spells with counters. Note, her thirteen spells include the 11 in her spell menu plus the apparate and Four-Point Spell.
