We also don't know how long Dumbledore studied with Flammel.  One 
aspect of this theory, early on, was that Ron, like in the movie Back 
to the Future, went looking for his "Doc", which would be Dumbledore, 
and, upon not finding him, somehow realized that *he* was 
Dumbledore.  

I like to think that Ron, realizing he needed to acquire more 
wizarding abilities in order to be Dumbledore, sought out 
another "Doc" - Flammel.  I imagine that a wizard with the alchemical 
skills to create the sorceror's stone would be very great and wise, 
and someone who trained under him would learn a great deal about 
magic.
