Flamel IS DD? Well, that's one that I -had- thought of before, first 
time I finished reading book 1, since Harry never SEES him in the 
series & he never finds an image of his face. For such an important 
back-character, he never showed up! If he was actually DD, it would 
make sense. I don't know though.

I don't remember ever actually reading that DD was 150. I had always 
had to guess. I don't keep up on every interview, but I never 
encountered this in a book. Did I miss it somewhere? How old is 
McGonnagall? I was certain that nothing was mentioned of a wizard's
longevity, so I wouldn't have known if they could be potentially older 
than the book seems to imply.

If DD is Flamel then it would make sense why his Patronus is a 
Phoenix. (I wonder if he had any other aliases?) JKR has already told 
us that a person's patronus is a reflection of the person. 

JKR also said in another itnterview that DD was about 150-years-old 
and that Minerva was 75-years-old.
