Hi

I made some changes to the subject list based on our discussions so 
far and emailed it to you all - its now down to five main categories 
from seven. Some further questions:

SECTION 1 - Themes & sources

Should this be the first section ? I thought it kind of set the 
scene, but don't mind if you want to make it section four instead.

I took (relation)SHIPPING out of it, and put it into section 2.

SECTION 2 - Individual characters

I put beasts, beings & spirits into here (sections 2.9, 2.10 and 
2.11).

Finally, section 2.12 is relationSHIPPING - it can be a place for 
ships between any type of character, human, magical or otherwise, 
which hopefully fulfills all tastes..

However, I am still a bit concerned that theories such as LOLLIPOPS 
might end up here - my own preference would be to keep these with 
their key characters.

My thinking here is guided not by an outbreak of gooey sentiment, but 
just that relationships between the adult characters might well be 
significant for the plot, whereas the vast majority of the SHIPPING 
between the schoolkids seems to be just wishful thinking. (Except, I 
suppose, if jealousy caused by it all leads to future betrays..?).

I have also left the list of theory acronyms with their characters 
for the time being - do you agree with how they are allocated, for 
instance, the vast over-simplification of putting MAGIC DISHWASHER 
with Dumbledore, just because one of the central themes of it is that 
he is the puppet master..

SECTIONS 3-4 are largely as before.

Finally, a question for Carolina:

Presumably all the sections of this list should be numbered to 
several levels, eg

1
1.1
1.1.1
1.1.1

This is ok, but the characters are currently organised 
alphabetically, what happens if we insert a new character half way 
down a list ??

Look forward to your thoughts

Carolyn
