Flitwick for HBP

No: HPFGUIDX 108297

At risk of dragging up an old discussion/theory (but I couldn't find 
one when I searched former posts) I'm going to throw out a new 
candidate for half-blood prince: Professor Flitwick. Why?

1) Harry learns about the existence of house elves in Chamber of 
Secrets. So house elves could be the 'discovery' that first appears 
there.

2) Flitwick's diminutive size is brought up everytime he's mentioned. 
Why is he so small? Could he be part house elf? 

3) The inclusion of a house elf as part of the fountain of magical 
brethren in the MOM suggests that they are an important part of 
wizarding society.

4) Would important elves work in the kitchens or could Flitwick be 
fulfilling the need to serve by teaching and heading Ravenclaw?

5) Dumbledore has a special understanding for house elves and half-
breeds and seems to gather them onto his staff, even expecting 
Kreacher to be treated with consideration.

Just something to think about.
