Since I can't tell what JKR intended, for my own theory, the making of the stone does involve the soul, well, in a round about way. The thing I had questioned on the stone, if Flamel gained both self-knowledge and a level of purity, then it makes me question why he would keep it to himself. Why not share it with others. In my fanfic I also give a reason, he could only share it with himself and his wife because it wouldn't really work for anyone else.
The chocolate frog card says; and his work on alchemy with his partner, Nicholas Flamel.
It doesn't really say what they did and Albus is very much Nicholas' junion. It'd be interesting to read how and why Nicholas would have Albus, this very young wizard as his partner.
Okay, this is something else in my fanfic and is why/how Voldemort found out about the stone (Okay I haven't revealed all of this idea in story, only part of it but I think someone could put it together if they tried). what sort of made sense to me is that the Flamel's were in hiding. Nicholas Flamel the real person is from france. While JKR canon has him living in Devon or some such place in England. So I wondered why?
My idea I used is, in the distant past, after nicholas had created the stone, people did try to take it from him. So at some point all his friends and family would be dead and him and his wife still alive. So due to the stone they went into hiding.
There are duel reasons for it, because of the stone and the connection to another character in my story but either way they decided to hide themselves to protect the stone and their life together.
For the most part after many many years, nobody really knew they existed. Most people in the magical world eventually just though they were legend - except for the obscure reference like in the book in the restricted section of Hogwarts it was sort of questionable that the Flamels were ever really real or that the stone was real. It was sort of something people might comment about but nobody except Albus really had first hand knowledge of.
Well that all changed when Dumbledore's chocolate frog card comes out with Nicholas' name on it. Now, maybe most people/kids wouldn't really pay attention to it. But Quirrell did pay attention to it, enough that when Voldemort and Quirrell met, he got the info about the Chocolate frog, Because at the time, Voldemort/Tom might have either never had the card, never paid attention to the card or even as a student the cards did not exist and as a adult he didn't care about them.
So, Quirrell ends up running into Voldemort and takes this information with him, maybe Qurrell even has the chocolate frog card with him, he might have read the book in the restricted section as well, getting that info. Maybe Voldie knew enough that he had heard the name Nicholas Flamel before, but like so many other people he just assumed it was a legend and that the stone wasn't really real. But when he saw the info on the card/or took the info out of Quirrells mind - he put two and two together and realized it was real, that the stone did exist and thats why he returned to England with Quirrell.
