Sophierom:

While this is a good idea in theory, JKR unforutnately shoots it down with her
statement on Flamel:

"Flamel has now died; Dumbledore explained in `Philosopher's Stone' that his old
friend was going to choose death rather than allow his stone to fall into the wrong
hands."

This can be found on the "Rumours" section of her web page. Here's the web
