Montavilla47:
My guess would be that it's a compound flint.  That JKR made Colin
a muggleborn in CoS because she needed him to be petrified.  But,
then she introduced Dennis, she forgot that Colin was muggleborn
and so gave him a wizarding brother.

That reminds me:  Whatever happened to Justin Finch-Fletchley?  I
don't think he ever made another appearance after CoS.  Do you 
suppose his parents actually took him out of school upon learning
that he had spent several months as a statue?
