Kathy W:
A true leader, you are! I came upon later posts and went up-thread to 
see how they were coded...so I did the same. It actually reminds me of 
the "HP characters as chess pieces" thread that went into Wizard Chess. 
Maybe what we'll need eventually is a metaphor section?

My second batch is done, pending the following:

Word on the siblings.

Quidditch: As already asked by Carolyn. 

JKR-Personal: I've had a couple of posts that compare HP to JKR's 
personal life. I don't really see a section for that except possibly 
1.2.4. This particular set offers the idea that Dudley and Harry 
represent JKR and her sister. (If that's the case, it's too much 
information about her childhood for me!)

I came across another Snape as Cockroach theory. Blasted down by Amanda 
Geist. But it was even before the exploding jar of cockroaches and 
before my time. The poor soul who wrote the post can no longer be 
found...hmm, just like LV's first reign. It was my one claim to "No one 
has ever thought of this before".

Potioncat noticed that Miss Havisham has an odd smile on her face. "Is 
that 200 posts this week, Dear?"

Potioncat hesitates. Something is amiss. Two hundred posts is very 
impressive to Potioncat, but she's certain Miss Havisham is not the 
least impressed. 

Suddenly she understands, "Oh, no, Miss! Just because I've done 200 
posts this week doesn't mean I can do 200 next week! You must 
understand...Uh, I've got teenagers!... My air conditioner was broken 
and coding was all I could do!...The dog looks sick..."
