Yes, this is obviously a problem, not only for the Snape category;
and reviewing my own cataloguing would definitely be a good thing as
I'm afraid, right now, that I haven't been terribly consistent. In
the beginning I clicked every possible category that a post might fit
into ("oh! it *mentions* Snape! Let's code it under..."), with the
search engine idea at the back of my head; but it is a debatable
practice, and I find that recently I have been much less detailed -
also in view of time pressure (*blushes scarlet at the thought of
other cataloguers' speed and her own procrastination*).
I have to say, when I joined I didn't realise this cataloguing would
be so complicated :-)... It's a very subjective thingy, and it seems
really hard to sort of efficiently streamline it.

Duel?! Without fail! Just warning the other contestants that I'm a
fencer... <veg>
