Wizard Cards...Spoilers, I suppose, but more likely just research.

Evidently, JK approved all of the frog cards...
One I found interesting was Gunhilda of Gorsemoor, a healer with one
eye and a hump... the statue of whom is Harry's escape to Hogsmeade
for his weekends in POA, IMO.
Also, when reading the Helga Hufflepuff card, I began to think...
could what house you're in have something to do with what type of
magic you excel at? I realize it isn't likely, but Dumbledore,
McGonagall, the Marauder's, Hermione...all Gryffindor...all good at
transfiguration. And the Slytherin's have a tendancy towards
potions. And Hufflepuffs seem to slant towards charms: Flitwick, for
one. And Helga's card says that she was "loved for her charming
ways."
IMHO, Hogwarts is in Scotland, because Hogsmeade is.
"(Hengist of Woodcroft) reportedly settled in Scotland. There he
started the village of Hogsmeade."
To answer my own question in a previous post:
(Merlin) created the Order of Merlin. The Order made rules against
using magic on non-wizards.
So, Peter Pettigrew was given the title of Order of Merlin because
Black blew him up in the street? Oh, yes, that makes sense. Really.
I would also like to comment on the fact that the cards would
specifically point out those wizards and witches born to non-magic
parents... It seemed to be a big deal. It never seems to be in
Hogwarts. Maybe it's one of those things that doesn't phase kids the
way it does grown-ups.
