Which brings the "Is Flamel an actual wizard? discussion full 
circle, and opens a new question:

Could a "muggle" who had discovered, or suddenly somehow aquired the 
ability to do any magic (even if it were only Alchemy)be permitted 
to exist in the WW? Obviously Flamel couldn't have sat around the MW 
for 600 years with no muggle taking notice. He would have depended 
upon magic to keep those form stealing it from him.

It is mentioned in the link followed from the Potter Lexicon about 
Flamel that his wife was noted for being about to keep a secret to 
her very death. Possibly J.K noted this info and the wife was his 
secret-keeper, which is why no one was able to take the stone.

Maybe with the upset LV had caused, and even in his "death" there 
was a kind of a "We must make safe anything he could use to come 
back to life!" campaign... similar to the raids on houses for Dark 
Arts items. The PS, something so known to wizards that it is 
mentioned on a chocolate frog card, was an obvious thing to lock up.
