I'd like to correct you on the comment that was made on Heliotrope's page on the HP wiki.

The headmasters/mistresses do have to die in office to get a portrait: http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/2007/10/20/j-k-rowling-at-carnegie-hall-reveals-dumbledore-is-gay-neville-marries-hannah-abbott-and-scores-more/ '''You only get good press if you die in office. Abdication is not acceptable.'''

And, this: Web Chat Transcript, July 30, 2007

Laura Trego: Was the absence of snapes portrait in the headmasters office in the last scene innocent or deliberate

J.K. Rowling: It was deliberate. Snape had effectively abandoned his post before dying, so he had not merited inclusion in these august circles. However, I like to think that Harry would be instrumental in ensuring that Snape’s portrait would appear there in due course.

So, Heliotrope Wilkins must have died IN OFFICE to get a portrait.

So, can you correct this?
