Carol responds:
Well, a half-giant (Hagrid) was allowed to enter Hogwarts, and some
posters have speculated that Flitwick is half house-elf (or half golbin)

But I think that first, no one would have thought those kids were
muggle-born if the remotely resembled house-elves, who, besides being
extremely small, are completely bald and have huge pointy ears. And
the likelihood of a house-elf meeting and marrying a Muggle is also
extremely small. (I don't think a house-elf would even marry a wizard
given their born-to-serve mentality.)

The fact that Colin was one of the basilisk's victims also seems to
confirm that he really is Muggle-born.

Carol, who thinks that Flitwick is also just a very small wizard (like
Dedalus Diggle)
