The third question is more of a comment that we should place Lily's
sacrifice under the Lily heading so it would be easier to find (for
the user) and because it is a direct connection to Lily it makes
more sense to have it there.

how her death protected Harry are under 'Ancient Magic'
and/or 'Death of Lily & James/GH' I think. I'm not sure we'd want to
move them to a subset under Lily, would we?

> Snow:
These posts that I'm speaking of are about Lily's life saving
sacrifice with a twist of what else Lily may have done in the way of
a charm that actually saved Harry. I have not come across any posts
like these in coding, I assumed they would have been ticked to
Lily's sacrifice but if they are to go under Ancient Magic then no I
would not want to move that category under Lily. I see the
differentiation, that's fine. I will mark them to be changed to
Ancient Magic instead of Lily's sacrifice.

Sorry, have been internet free since Friday night, due to a burned
out transformer, and an exploding replacement which burned down the
box it was hiding in. Cote d'Ivoire Telecom, efficient as always,
has only just got it fixed.
Snow, hold on with bunging stuff into Ancient Magic, please. I've
just reviewed that, and moved a whole load of posts from there to
blood protection. I was hoping to have finished the whole section
by now, but due to aforementioned explosions have been on forced
gardening leave.
Here's the review of what I did to Ancient magic:
3.8.2.1 Ancient Magic (98 posts, now 39)
30 posts moved to 3.5.4 Blood protection/Lily's sacrifice
1 post moved to magical items
4 posts moved to 3.9.8 Voldy's re-bodification potion
24 posts removed from 3.8.2.1 Ancient Magic because they only
mentioned it.
Old definition:
"What it is, examples of"
New definition:
"Specific discussion of what it is; try to keep separate from 3.5.4
(Blood protection/Lily's sacrifice), 3.8.2.2 (Life debts) and 3.9.8
(Voldy's re-bodification)"
The posts about Lily's sacrifice might mention that DD called
it 'Ancient Magic' but don't discuss what Ancient Magic is in
itself, which is why I don't want them there. Lily's sacrifice and
the blood protection, 'Life debts', and Voldy's re-bodification are
all examples of Ancient Magic, so unless Ancient Magic as a (rather
abstract) concept is discussed rather than these speific examples, I
don't think they should be in there.
Sound ok?
As for spoilers, I have very cunningly managed to time my return to
the UK for Friday lunchtime, so I shall have a copy of HBP in my
grubby mits as early as possible Saturday morning. Phew!
Dot, catching up.
