Is Flamel dead yet? Was: Re: Snape, Potions and DADA - Possible and Not

Finwitch:

And who could this person be? I have a guess: Nicolas Flamel. Being 
that alchemy was what began chemistry (and Potions, too, I 
suppose). I think Nicolas knows Potions well (Elixir of Life being 
one).

Imamommy:
But aren't the Flamels probably deceased by now? It was, after all, 
four years ago that they destroyed the philosopher's stone.  


Alla:

I think that it is quite likely that Flamels are not deceased yet. 
Think about it - when Dumbledore in PS/SS says that Flamel has 
enough elixir to take care of his affairs , he does not specify the 
time frame at all.

I do think that Flamels may show up in one capacity or another. It 
also gives JKR some opportunity to kill some characters to whom the  
readers are not too attached.

I speculate that if Flames do show up they won't die from natural 
causes. I think they will go down fighting Voldemort and his DE.


JMO,

Alla.
