Interesting as your post is, I don't think the Potter
ever had the Philosopher's stone, if they did, why did
James and Lily die? They shouldn't have since the
Stone makes the 'owner' immortal, and the two of them
were not immortal, or maybe they're immortal the way
elves in Tolkien's world are: they don't die of old
age but they can be killed in battle. Dunno. Also I
don't think DD would have let them get the stone, only
those who actually discovered it should be able to use
it, and the only one we know in N. Flamel and his
wife. This may sound selfish, but not everyone should
have immortality and wealth it just takes off-balance
the universe, at least IMO.
