Potioncat:
It's a flint if it's a mistake. I wouldn't call the map a flint. It 
would be a flint if we saw Crouch!Moody destroy it in one book, but 
Harry had it in another. The fact that we didn't see him get it doesn't 
make it a flint. Poor transition, perhaps.

The flints that I can think of, have more to do with dates and ages. It 
seems like the membership of the Slytherin gang involve a flint because 
the ages don't work out. The real age of the oldest Weasley sons is a 
flint because the events and their ages don't work out together. (At 
least I think that was the general conclusion, I long ago gave up on 
Weasley ages.)

The Black family tree has a number of flints.

Has anyone actually made a list of flints?
