I'd be inclined to put the meat of this discussion under the character
FAQs for the Potters.  I guess that's where I'd look for it if I were
searching the FAQs.  It is also a Mystery -- but it's not specific to
any one book -- although, I guess if I had to pick just one of the books
that it most fits under, it would be PS.  I would think that the
Voldemort FAQ could simply cross-reference the Potters and/or the PS
Mysteries FAQ.

Agree or disagree?

I think that this sounds completely the right way to go.

Similarly, with fanfic -- I'm not including message #s as long as the
message says nothing more than "I recommend all of Blaise's fanfics."  I
don't know that anyone will much care *who* made the individual
recommendations, do you?  I may include message #s at the bottom for
some posts where someone like Ebony took the time to put some plot
summaries in or otherwise expand on the recommendation (or talked about
fanfic in general).

Needing to turn to my JKR or Adult v. Children's Lit FAQ.  <g>

Ebony is beta-reading the Fanfic FAQ and then I will post it for
comments.  My Potential Romantic Pairings is almost done also.  I've
made a start on Wizarding World -- Govt but got bogged down.
