Ah, yeah, I see where I messed up there. He is definitely a Syker, which I should have specified. Oh, and there will indeed be cookies. 

Though, just read the two posts in chronological order. Danny wouldn't have been aware that Alex was a Syker, for all he could have known, he just had skills in the magic of insorcery. It wasn't until after Finks pried into the first year's mind, was he informed that Alex was a Syker. But eh, c'est la vie.
