- I am as good at following instructions as I am at giving them.
- I have a lot of experience babysitting, so I should have little trouble watching the younger students when bad weather keeps them indoors over break times.
- I have made great contributions to several decorating committees over the years and love planning events (and would thus do splendidly at preparing the castle for Christmas).
- I have proven well equipped to handle responsibilities as a student leader.
- I work well under odd hours (which is necessary for patrolling the hallways to ensure that students are not breaking curfew).
- I would love to be the first to show new students to their dormitories on their first day and see the "oohs" and "aahs".
- I would not abuse the beautiful bathroom ...

 there are many, many things that regularly confuse the glorious writers of the fandom, and among them are these.
- parseltounge vs. parselmouth
- if you are a parselmouth, then you can speak parseltounge.
- occlumency vs. legilimency
- an occlumens employs occlumency to occlude their mind (shield and protect it). it is an introverted and primarily defensive technique. its opposite is legilimency, an offensive technique used to force yourself into the mind of others to some end (usually to "read" their mind). one cannot use the the spell "legilimens" to defend ones mind nor can they occlude themselves into someone else's mind (though special cases where two minds are "linked" could prove a theoretical exception).
- pepper-up potion vs. invigoration draught...

 Inspired by reading the philosiphor's stone while listening to Charlie Mcdonnell's song Doctor What.
- He lives for ages: Flamel is "the only known maker of the Philosopher's Stone" producing "the Elixir of Life, which will make the drinker immortal."
- People keep seeing him all throughout history.
- He doesn't want to die: As Dumbledore said before Flamel gave turned over the stone, "To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure," and while the Doctor's mind is many things, it is not organized.
- "If you look through time then you will find so many artefacts have been signed with clues, all pointing his way." In fact, "You can find his legacy sketched throughout, though the history books always tend to leave him out."
- He's a lover of the arts: literature, paintings, and music alike as is evident from the people he visits.

 should my soul split, you'd find it:
- between the pages of an old, well-worn copy of alice in wonderland
- in the green eyes of a fair-haired porclien doll
- in the belly of an inconspicuous, upright piano crouching in the foyer
- on every key of an old-timey, manual typewriter
- woven into a red, silk ribbon used to tie back one's hair or dress
- nestled in the middle a slight and extremely delicate, gold ring
- within you; i already gave you the biggest piece of my soul
