Sam,
Curious - who told you these things?
The popping nail thing is 100% wrong. There are various causes for this, most relating to improper installation of the roof (I'm assuming it's regular asphalt shingles). Most likely is either too many layers of shingles, or the installed used nails that are too short. A properly installed roof will *not* have popping nails.
Re the dripping water thing, there's no better source of information than your own two eyes! If at all possible, go up in the attic and take a look. If there's a bunch of snow up there, the theory may hold water (pun intended ;^) ). Or, it could be the roof leaking or condensation.
For both of these issues, you might want to get the opinion of an independent home inspector.
