Not Elkins's fault: it was Tabouli who draped her with bloody 
feathers: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/message/35200

In SS/PS, Hermione said: "I hope I'm in Gryffindor, it sounds by far 
the best; I hear Dumbledore himself was in it". 

Also, JKR said in interview that Dumbledore is 150 years old. Would 
she have said that so out-right in an interview is she was going to 
pull some twister about 'the Dumbledore identify is 150 years old' 
because Flamel started creating it 150 years old?

"Q: How old is old in the wizarding world, and how old are Professors 
Dumbledore and McGonagall? JKR: Dumbledore is a hundred and fifty, 
and Professor McGonagall is a sprightly seventy."
