Remember the debate we had about the mystery man on back of some editions
of ...Philosopher's Stone?

I contacted the publisher, Bloomsbury, around that time, and asked them
who it was meant to be. I mentioned a number of alternatives, based on
our discussion. Turns out it wasn't Nicholas Flamel after all.

Here's what they said:

"Now have the answer for you: your third surmise was correct, ie it was
a generic wizarding character who was later changed to the identifiable
Dumbledore.

All best
