Given the format of how Anna's personal page url is made up can we guess at other members of staff?
Do the numbers 328451 have a special significance? Have we seen them before in connection to her? (Is it 32, 84, 51?)

I can guarantee that these are just random letters to stop you finding other people's pages. Just like the leitmark image names.

anna says on her academy page that she suffers from ailihphilia, the word for a sufferer of that condition (a lover of palindromes) is not an ailihphiliac (n.b not a palindrome), it is an elihphile (a palindrome)

Do you think they are intended mistakes? Or possibly we have other answers?
TBCH I don't know where I got 10 from in hindsight, and a quick web search turned up the answer to 3).

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19 - Seems like 8 to me.

I believe skenmy meant question 3! Otherwise I would be quite worried.
