Smart-alecky, indeed. I loved it too. Yet it occurs to me, after 
being thoroughly corrupted by this group ;) that Hermione *could* 
have discovered quite a bit about Flamel through her parents - or at 
least, through an encyclopedia. After all, Flamel *did* exist as 
a "Muggle". I wonder how Ron and Harry would have reacted if Hermione 
had brought that info back to Hogwarts on her return? :)
