Hi Dot
What a great Elkins post - she's on top form in this one. The extra 
codes I would add are as follows:

1.3.1 Authorial intent
1.3.4 Foreshadowing etc
1.4.0 Characterisation
1.4.8 Psychological assessments
Plus Trevor, Granny Longbottom, Crouch Sr  & Jr

To answer your specific points:

Robertses - in this case, it's a bit of canon evidence being cited 
rather than a discussion of Robertses, ie, they are not the main 
point of the reference, so no need to try and code them in. However, 
I will add them to the list of muggles if we do get a discussion of 
them as characters.

I've been wondering whether to add a back history code for the 
Longbottom incident and have now decided to do so - there are a lot 
of posts about it:
1.3.5.4 Longbottom torture

For the ugly secrets, I think it is ok just to code to the characters 
concerned for now.

Anyone else have any comments - my word is not law you know!

who's literary jokes would be more effective if she could only spell 
the character's names..
