Well, the posts that triggered this are in the 7570s.  They are 
essentially shipping posts relating to the significance of the fact 
that Ron was Harry's 'most missed' thing, but they also stray onto 
the topic of how the triwizard organisers knew what the most-missed 
thing was.  I coded one post to 'general properties and types of 
magic', but some posters think it was a non-magical process (e.g. 
vote by committee of professors).

Over time there have been quite a few 'how does it work?' type of 
posts, e.g. Fidelius, magical genetics, why you can't trace owl 
post, how does the moon affect werewolves *exactly*, how does the 
Map work (these last two were huge topics for a while), and so on.  
Have I missed a category here?

Another was to do with the 'Potter for President' badges, 
speculating that President might be a title in some British 
schools.  I coded that to British govt and politics because that 
seemed marginally less inappropriate than Prefects and head 
boy/girl.  The category, IMO, is - and once Shaun comes on the scene 
boy will we need it - British school traditions, part of 4.4.
