Is the Head of my House a Hobbit?

No: HPFGUIDX 33183

     Has no one else wondered about the origins of "tiny Professor 
Flitwick," he who has to stand on a pile of books in order to see 
over his desk and teach Charms?  After all, we never see his feet 
(shod or un...) Yes, I know his hair is snowy (not brown) and he 
sports a beard.  Who's to say that Hobbits don't go grey and grow 
beards - even though Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin managed to stay 
cleanshaven from Bagend to the Falls.
     No, unless someone can utterly convince me that Flitwick is NOT 
a Hobbit, I shall enjoy the thought that a touch of Middle Earth 
lingers yet in Merry Olde England, and that Hobbits, however small, 
can still make a difference.
