Yep, after checking the Lexicon, I see that Flitwick's first name is 
Filius.  Not a very house-elfish name (like Dobby, Winky, Flopsy, 
Mopsy, whatever).  More goblin-ish I think. 

As for his manner, which is always described as sweet and gentle, he 
surely must have some other stuff going on genetically. Those goblins 
are mean (or at least that's what we've been told).  Could he be part 
wizard; or, could it be that the awful goblin stereotype is just a 
stereotype?
