Goblins, Gringotts, and Flitwick

This is a 3 part theory. Bear with me. ^_^

Part 1: Hagrid is abnormally large, and we discovered that it was 
because he is half Giant. So who is the other wizard of abnormal 
size? Flitwick. And in the movies he is played by the same actor who 
plays a Goblin - could this be a clue? Could Flitwick be part Goblin?

Part 2: We know so much about the Goblins and Gringotts, yet they 
have not played a very important role yet. Hagrid tells Harry that 
Gringotts is the safest place in the world next to Hogwarts. We know 
that the vaults stretch for miles beneath London, and that there are 
a lot of nasty creatures guarding them (including dragons). The 
Goblin Liaison Office is mentioned briefly in Goblet of Fire, and we 
are told that Cuthbert Mockridge leads this department. One of the 
few historical events we hear anything about from professor Binns is 
the Goblin Rebellions. And finally, we know Bill Weasley works for 
Gringotts, and so far, he has probably had the fewest appearances out 
of the Weasleys. So are the Goblins, and Gringotts, going to be 
taking on more important roles later on?

Part 3: Assuming the above two theories work, what does that mean? If 
Flitwick is indeed part Goblin, that means that Hogwarts has ties to 
the Goblins as well as the Giants. Goblins would make formidable 
allies. However, if they side with Voldemort (as Goblins seem to be 
less interested in what is right than what they can get out of the 
situation), could Flitwick be helpful in the fight against them, or 
possibly, for whatever reason, in helping to guide the good guys 
through the vast underground system that is Gringotts?

(Part 4: Am I insanely overanalytical?)
