** Prue at one point mentions to Andy that her children will only be witches if they are girls. Possibly implying that only women can be witches. However the episode "Secrets and Guys" sees her helping a young male witch named Max with his problems, who's mother also had witch powers. Not to mention that later Paige's first charge is a guy named Mitchell Haines. It seems the writers can't agree if male witches are a thing or not.

Eventually The Source got so pissed at his defeats at their hands that he was willing to doom the entire world just to beat them.
** Barbas, the demon of fear, is the Charmed Ones' longest running and one of their most persistent foes. Wanting revenge on them for his defeats, Barbas would return time and again to mess with them psychologically, with it getting very personal between them, even leading to him helping kill their KidFromTheFuture Chris. They considered him to be one of their greatest enemies.
** Zankou is the most intelligent and conniving of the Charmed One's enemies. He was ranked as one of the most powerful and dangerous demons to ever exist. He demonstrated it by constantly preying on the emotions of the Charmed Ones and was always one step ahead of them, constantly improving from his defeats and learning how to manipulate them.
