No, I think that's correct; although I'm inclined to believe that AD 
has received at least *some* benefit from being Flamel's partner in 
*some* form - maybe extended age, maybe something else - else, why 
would we even need to know of their partnership?  We have not seen 
Flamel...I don't like that, btw - he seems too integral, too 
important, not just to the first book, but to the entire series.  He 
is, after all, the oldest living wizard (and, I have contended, the 
richest)!

Is Flamel dead by book 4?  By book 3? 2?  When?  Will JKR tell us
when 
Flamel actually departs the living world.  It would seem reasonable 
for the entire wizarding world to pay homage to him for his longevity 
and other accomplishments.  Or perhaps the wizarding population 
at-large doesn't really care for Flamel...jealous, maybe;  maybe he 
hasn't done all that some think he can, or should, do.  I know this
is 
all wild speculation, but I think that he is still alive and will 
actually make an appearance before the end of the series.  I have no 
real compelling hint that that will happen.  He is apparently only a 
minor plot device in Book 1.  I just think that Flamel MUST play a 
larger role - unless he's just a washed-up, doddering old wheezy 
wizard...nah!!!
