Righto, sorry, I was just theorizing on my own....although your theory is 
highly interesting. 

But also, since, I'm still speculating how he died: suppose he did die of 
natural causes, while sleeping in front of the staff room fire.  Why do we even 
need to know about a staffroom fire?  Couldnt he just die in his sleep and keep 
going to his classes as a ghost...theres something about this fire that 
interests me.  If he was still there in that chair, dead, with the fire and all, he 
may have been burned still....hmmmm.....but I also like the idea of Tim 
Riddle and AK.  Hehe...poor  Professor Binns (Does anyone have guesses on actually 
how old he is??).  

Also, what is up with all those Goblin rebellions?
