Well, I think it's entirely possible for there to be more teachers - 
particularly now that Voldemort's back and even the Ministry admits 
it.

So - I'd say that either Harry does get an 'O' for his Potions Owl or 
we get two persons who teach Potions. And that *other* person could 
be Nicolas Flamel, and Perenelle could be teaching DADA... (I know 
Dumbledore said the Stone was destroyed, and most likely believed it 
was, but... 'enough elixir to set his affairs' - he could live up to 
one thousand with what he has left, or maybe he fooled Albus to 
believe he had destroyed the Stone or...)

Anyway-- I'd like to actually meet the Flamels, who both were older 
than Albus Dumbledore is now back when Sir Nicolas de Mimsy-
Porpington was executed...

well, I don't know how old professors Marchbanks and Tofty are, but I 
think the Flamels are older by far...

At any rate, I do wish we get to meet the Flamels! (and see how they 
would consider Albus Dumbledore & all the rest as *young*. And if 
they truly outage rest of the wizards by a century, an AGELINE set to 
six hundred and fifty is enough to protect the Stone... Maybe NF did 
fake it and the stone Harry got from the mirror was just a bait!).
