BTW, are there any other real people (in our world) besides Flamel who
were Wizards in the Potterverse?  I was thinking maybe Johannes Kepler
was, since he dealt in astrology (though he eventually rejected it,
Hermione-style), wrote a book (factual in the P-verse??) about a
witchcraft-aided trip to the moon, and his mum was in fact tried
as a witch.
