* TroubledBackstoryFlashback: There is one that explains how Professor Petrie became the Phantom. He was a composer who came to Lord d'Arcy for help with publishing his music, only to be betrayed when d'Arcy claimed it as his own work. The furious Petrie broke into the publisher's building to destroy the freshly printed copies of the music. A fire broke out, and his face was horribly scarred when he tried to extinguish it with nitric acid he mistook for water.

* SanitySlippage: Though it's implied that he was [[AbsentMindedProfessor always a bit eccentric]], there are definitely signs that Petrie has started to lose his mind since becoming the Phantom. Notably there's the scene when he randomly walks away in the middle of teaching Christine to sing and starts speaking to someone who isn't there. What he says is later revealed to be what he once said to Lord d'Arcy while trying to convince him to help publish his music; he was reliving that moment in his mind.

* ATragedyOfImpulsiveness: During the flashback, Professor Petrie is enraged to learn that Ambrose d'Arcy is passing his music off as his own. He breaks into the publisher's building and begins throwing what has been printed so far into the furnace. That in itself is an impulsive act serving no purpose other than to help him vent his anger, as surely d'Arcy would continue to print the falsely-attributed music regardless. Then when a fire begins, he grabs the first jar of liquid he can get his hands on to try to put it out. It turns out to be nitric acid...
