Ok, once again, I apologize for having been an idiot.  To add insult 
to injury, one of the posts I thought had already been done was the 
result of my not being able to read my own handwriting and ending up 
in the wrong post in a thread about teachers.

Geesh.  I promise I will do better in the future.  


So, to teachers:
Binns: was 32, now 22
Grubbly-Plank: was 6, now 5
Hooch:  was 14, now 9
Kettleburn: was 2, now 2
Ogg: was 5, now 3
Pince: was 12, now 9
Pomfrey: was 65, now 52
Pringle: was 5, now 4
Sinistra: was 48, now 28
Sprout: was 18, now 12
Vector: was 5, now 2

Quite a bit of the uncoding was due to posts talking about teachers 
which talked about the main characters and added "we don't know much 
about so-and-so" for the unknowns.

There was a lot of talk about Sinistra's gender.  I kept only the 
more creative posts explaining why dancing with Moody was not enough 
to determine gender.  I only kept one of several who brought this 
subject up in the first place.  They should have known better.  
Fortunately, JKR has cleared this up.

Hooch and Pomphrey lost a few to Rita (Catlady).  Her original post 
explaining her version of their background was kept, but later side 
references were uncoded (ie, someone wonders if MM and DD are a 
couple and she only states the she is a MM/Hooch shipper without 
adding to that.)

Quite a bit of what is still there is about stereotypes.  Pince and 
Poppy in women's roles, and Hooch and G-P as stereotype lesbians.  
Binns as a dull history teacher.  

Ogg and most of Pringle are in relation to Molly and Arthur's ages.  

On an unrelated note:  I signed up for Other Wizard Characters.  It 
says 1-23 in the database.  I am assuming that Dippet, #24, was added 
after the database was created, and I am including him with the 
others.

Ginger, apologizing once again for being such a scaredy-cat and twit.
