Carolyn:
My input - definitely B) & C). 

A) is more difficult to define. I can only do it by examples. For 
instance, Part 1 of Magic Dishwasher is (largely) an extended 
analysis of the end chapters of POA. Not all theories are like this, 
but in this instance, is it correct to cross-code that lengthy theory 
post to those chapters? I know I have done, but that may not be 
correct. Similarly Part II Spying Game is an analysis of the 
graveyard scene in GOF.

In addition to these theory questions, the categories should both 
pose the key questions about a particular chapter (as the formal 
summaries do), and capture the best of the replies to those 
questions. The art is to know when to cut that discussion off, as it 
meanders off into being a thread on something else.

Also, I am particularly keen to capture the quickies - where someone 
spots something in a chapter that is odd, and queries it.

Don't think I'm being much help - I am having a temper tantrum trying 
to sort out the spying and betrayals section at the moment.

Alas, I seem to have tragically misrepresented Barry, who it turns 
out is a really nice man, and was only trying to help. All those 
recommendations for curry enemas, for instance, seem to have been 
homeopathic remedies, in common use in backward, er, I mean rural 
parts of the Welsh borders.
