I'm glad you pointed out the the "monkey-like" description. Compare:
"it was ancient and monkey-like, with a long thin beard that fell almost to the bottom of the wizard's sweeping stone robes"
"He looked rather like an old lion. There were streaks of grey in his mane of tawny hair and his bushy eyebrows. . ." (from the HBP excerpt, of course)
Makes me think more and more that her book excerpt is a description of Godric.
