And going back to vmonte's post concerning Flamel and OOtP, I still
don't see a connection between them. If the connection is from the
Stone in DD's protection, I don't think that was from any OOtP
influence other than someone (DD?) realized the stone would be a tool
for Voldy.

Well, there is a connection between Flamel and Dumbledore. They
were "chemistry" partners. Dumbledore is only 150 years old and
Flamel was/is? 666 years old at last count. By the time Dumbledore
met Flamel, Flamel had already come up with the PS/SS, and probably
countless other things. Was DD a partner, or an apprentice? How and
where did they meet?
Why did Dumbledore go after Grindelwald? And when are we going to
learn the facts about this character?
There is a lot information missing about the Dumbledore and Flamel
relationship.
Flamel seemed (seems?) to also be obsessed, like Voldemort, with
longevity. Was he keeping himself alive because he wanted to finish
what he started? Was/is he after something/someone?
