Mmm, I haven't hit this particular thread yet (although I do remember 
that one), but I'd go with the keyword "Predictions."  I'd then put 
something like "Secret room predictions" under the comments section.  
I would probably catalogue a couple of the posts that are the most 
interesting, canon-based or thoughtful and skip the rest.

People really get their teeth into those religion discussions, don't 
they?  I did one this morning that went into Hinduism.  

I would just catalogue them under "Religion" and then use the 
comments field to elaborate.  On those threads, I have taken to using 
comments like "Hinduism -- OT but very good discussion."  I hate to 
omit a really fabulous explanation of something like that, but 
frankly, those posts often have very little to do with Hogwarts.  So 
I figure I'll make note of the better ones (skipping posts such as "I 
used to enjoy taking communion before I became an atheist") but cut 
the editor a break by mentioning whether the post is wildly off-topic.

Not to worry.  Ask away!
