[HPFGU-Catalogue] Re: New & horrid task - our first review

[Barry Arrowsmith]

Spying, espionage and betrayal.

Sounds like a nice straight-forward group to review.
Just the opposite.

Think  of the number of times posters have used any of those three 
words, sometimes in the vaguest of contexts with no canon backing at 
all. Ron/Ginny/Percy/Obediah Polkinghorn *might* betray Harry; *if* 
Snape is a spy it might explain this; James was not a spy; were these 
the actions of a spy? and so on.

The specific word has appeared, so categorise the post accordingly.
Fair  enough.
But although I'm only part way through, I'm beginning to suspect that 
the category itself needs to be more closely defined. There are too 
many casual, non-specific references to dirty deeds in the files, most 
of which could be stuffed under this heading. Unless it gets tightened 
up the category will end up as a rag-bag of nothing very much and not 
be of much use to anyone.

Advise please.
