Dumbledore and Fannel (Was: Splitting Hairs)

Kimberly:"My pet 'I wonder' for the moment is - what was Dumbledore's
role in Flamel's alchemy research?  According to my admittedly muggle
calculations, if Dumbledore is really 150, then Flamel was already 524
when he was born, which seems to indicate (unless wizard life
expectancies are even longer than I thought) that he must already have
been tippling a certain elixer.  So what would there be left for
Dumbledore to do?"

Jim: Perhaps Dumbledore was his protoge, his research assistant.

But Flannel still had - somehow -  to get to 524. And JKR appears to be 
indicating that AD is getting old and tired at 150. I can see the extended life 
thing - but I doubt that it takes one to 524. (and its just occurred to me this 
would make Flannel born around the time of NHNick - spooky eh?)
