We're going to make this database available to people outside the
group? (Envisions a storm of people demanding to know why their witty
intelligent posts were blacked out of the catalogue. JK)

Well, I've never heard of SOPE. I thought acronyms were fair game.
Maybe we should key it as Evil (Character is Evil). I suppose the
distinction I want to make is Evil (the noun) vs. Evil (the
adjective.) I don't think they're used the same way in discussions.
Someone who's dealing with discussions of JKR's moral outlook probably
won't want a whole clutter of McGonagall is evil and I can prove why
posts.

Right, I get you there. But I (and some others, it seems) still think
an obvious topic is "Evil - the noun" and that many posts will fit
under it.

I think that would be considerably too much work. However, how about a
complete catalogue and FAQs on Avery, Fudge, the Crouches, the
trolley-witch, Florence, Gilderoy Lockhart, Wilkes, Cedric Diggory,
and Fleur Delacour? And Igor Karkaroff if you like.
