Talk:Scamander family

Newt Scamander the Headmaster
Can someone please confirm that: If both of these are true then I would suggest there is enough evidence to suggest that Newt Scamander is likely a family name (like Sirius Black) and that this elder Scamander was a Headmaster and should be added to the roster - likely before Headmistress Mole given the date of the portrait. I know this has been hashed and rehashed at Talk:Newton Scamander and I think it's clear that it doesn't make sense for Newt the magizoologist to be dead and in a portrait in CoS but also listed as retired in the FB introduction. However there appears to be no reason why Newt c. 1807 could not have been a headmaster and help solve this pesky "non-canon" image that has been bugging us all.

 * 1) This portrait of Newt Scamander is the one that hangs in the Headmaster's Office, (I believe it is on the left side, upper row when looking from the Headmaster's desk) See CoS or: http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/harrypotter/images/f/fa/Unidentified_resting_headmaster_below_the_portrait_right.jpg/revision/20150517142605
 * 2) That the lettering on the right says 1807 AD (which would fit his attire).
