1) Dr. Deaton actually is asked (I think it's by Stiles but I'd have to check) at one point if he's a witch, he actually denies it, it's true he could be lying, but there doesn't seem to be a reason for him to do so.

Of course, he still might be, but I don't think so.

2) Also the male version of "witch" is not "warlock" it's still "witch", "witch" is a unisex term.

"warlock" comes from the Old-English for "oath breaker", it was a term used to describe a person (male or female) that, during times where witchcraft was an executable offence, would infiltrate covens/groups (whatever you call them) and expose them to the authorities. Hence, "oath-breaker".

These days it's often used to refer to male witches in literature and TV but it's a pet-peeve of mine, so I thought I'd point it out.
