Flitwick a goblin?

Hi,

I checked the FAQ and the Lexicon, and searched through the most recent 
10,000 messages, and I don't see anything specific about this. Perhaps 
it's only the influence of the celluloid-that-must-not-be-named, but 
does anyone else think Flitwick might be a goblin? Or part-goblin? A 
goblin might be forbidden to use a wand (I can't remember what FB says 
on this), but a half-goblin would possibly not have this restriction 
(going on Hagrid's example).

In my search, I did see some speculation that Flitwick might be part 
house-elf (I don't think that was entirely serious) or a dwarf. 

Ok, once I extended my search past the first 10000 messages (do you 
realize that only goes back to June??) I found where Alice speculated 
just a bit toward this back in message 21337, and Tabouli responded that 
this had been speculated on before. But not much else.

Am I the only one who thinks this is interesting? Especially in light of 
the stress Binns seems to put on the Goblin Uprisings?
