Thank you for the quote Przemyslaw.  It may not be a flint.  Imagine 
the badges themselves are shiny silver.  In the center of the flat 
area of the badge would be the house design - in this case a scarlet 
and gold lion design.  Then superimposed over the lion design would 
be a large P. (Nothing wrong with a good, healthy P.) They could be 
quite ornate and multicolored and still be in canon. I'm not trying 
to split hairs, just trying to assist JKR out of any flint 
allegations. :)
