Harry FP Outline v. 3.0

[abigailnus]

Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, right this way - you will not believe 
your eyes!  Delivered directly to your website from a word processor in 
the dusty and unseasonably warm Levant, it's the third incarnation of the 
Harry FP outline!

<crickets chirp, tumbleweeds blow>

But seriously folks, I posted the original version not long after joining in 
June.  You can find it in message #1769.  It was basically a list of questions.  
After OOP came out, I posted a revamped version as a list of bullet points 
(posts #2013 & #2230) along with question as to how the new information 
in OOP would affect the Harry FP.  This third version is my own answer to 
that question, mostly in light of the topics the group has been concentrating 
on, and the questions that seem to be on everyone's mind.

So, without further ado, I give you:
