Hi Mike, all

I thought this and thought I was very clever but them someone pointed 
out that maybe Dumbledore helped Flamel refine his work, ie that 
Flamel had gotten the bit about prolonging life but had other work 
still to be done.

Not a bad explination eh? shame <g>

In fact, if you use the e-group seach facility for Flamel you may 
find the original and much more lucid (than my summary) explaintion.
