From the Chocolate Frog Cards, these are some wizards famous for magical research:

**Bridget Wenlock:** Determined the arithmantic properties of the number seven.

**Falco Aesalon:** First Animagus. (semi-canon, depends on how you treat the games)

**Herpo the Foul:** Discovered how to create basilisks and Horcruxes.

**Ignatia Wildsmith:** Invented Floo Powder.

There are also important thinkers known to Muggles who were wizards: Agrippa, Paracelsus and Ptolemy.

Oh, and don't forget Merlin, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin.
