I agree  that any of these  headings linked to a specific  character 
should be under that character heading.

Voldy and DD agenda should stay just that IMO, but as a subheading to 
character.

Yeah, as a sub--head to a meta-type theme Spying would be OK. Throw in 
types of, the philosophy of, methods of, reasons for, low intensity 
warfare, personal betrayal, betrayal of class or ideology, etc. etc.  
and spying, treason and betrayal could be valid as a category. It'd 
certainly make more sense than keeping most of the stuff that's in 
there at the moment.
