Are you even a wizard if you don’t take all the bad advice from your familiar?

Congratulations on graduating from the wizard’s academy. Here are your robes, spellbook, and little buddy who’s going to enable all your bad decisions. Have fun out there!

ALWAYS cast Fireball indoors! It's how you maximize your efficiency. Also: it's easier to get your targets clustered together.

What's the Challenge Rating of an orphan? How does it compare to that of a kobold?

9 HP on an orphan?!

I guess it depends on edition but I would say if a 0 level human civilian is 1-6 HP then a child ought to be 1-3 HP, a bit lower than a Kobold's 1-4 HP.

It's a hard knock life for orphans. That means lots of xp?

That's not an orphan, that's a street urchin. That kid's got levels.

A "living in an orphanage" orphan is going to be Commoner 1, if not outright CR0 with 1HP.

Orphans are super dangerous because they can be any level or class type.

Technically, Batman is an Orphan.

Also, their size can be a red herring. I have it on good authority that the notorius criminal known by the handle "Little Orphan Annie" is actually a middle aged halfling crime boss with compromising information on Daddy Warbucks forcing him to fund her lifestyle. Allegedly.
