> 1- Which Professor is head of Ravenclaw?

JKR said in an interview with Barnes and Noble.com that "(t)he head 
of Ravenclaw is good old Professor Flitwick!" You can find a 
transcript of that interview linked to the "sources of Lexicon 
information" page in the Lexicon's Help/About section.

> 2- Does each house have a ghost, and if so, who are the ghosts of 
Hufflepuff 
> and Ravenclaw? 

The Fat Friar is identified as the ghost of Hufflepuff in SS. 
Ravenclaw's ghost is a little harder to spot, but she does appear 
unnamed in SS12. JKR showed some of her notes on the Today Show and 
after Ravenclaw, clearly legible, it said "Gray Lady." She said it 
also in an interview and mentioned that she had appeared in one of 
the books without being named.


By the way, the Lexicon is actually pretty reliable on details like 
this. I don't put it in there unless there's some pretty strong 
evidence (such as an inteview) to back it up. I invite you to have a 
look at the Lexicon to find answers to these kinds of questions. If 
the answer is available, chances are it's listed there.

On the other hand, most of us really get excited about trying to 
answer these kinds of questions off the top of our heads, so fire 
away!
