* These other pharaoh-descended/magical kids. Do their families know already, like the Kane family, the Kane kid's maternal grandparents, and Walt's family? If so, why aren't these kids already being trained at the House of Life? If not, how on earth did they get their parents to let them go to this 'school'?
** Another problem: why is no one's family talked about? We hear about Walt's bloodline, but no one else really mentions their family. Also, why were so many kids added at all, when only two really mattered? Unless the remaining kids get character development in the next books (which, granted, they might), these remaining students will become [[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?|mice]].
*** This troper kinda though that they're there to flaunt the Kanes' authority and awesomeness or to add mooks to the Nome. As for their parents, at least one of the two is probably aware of the House of Life - there could be tons of people like Sadie's grandparents, who know about magic, don't use it but still end up passing it on to their children.
