For instance, I considered one for the Dursleys, to gather all those 
together.  I ran into trouble, though, as many of them strayed into 
Character Traits/Maturation, while others had more to do with 
Protection, esp. 3.5.4 Blood Prot. at P.D./Lily's Sacrifice.  Lots of 
my specific categories showed that sort of tendency, which is why I 
ended up with fewer, larger ones.  Those posts under BALDERDASH would 
seem to fit, and be coded to, the Versus LV/DEs category, while on 
the other hand, PoA time-turner ones might go under Training, Powers, 
Protections. But we could put BALDERDASH with TIME TURNER and add a 
Time-Turning category as well.

C- I think the only way forward is to start off with the list of sub-
categories that you've come up with (below), and see what fits and 
what doesn't. 

Rather than force a post into a section that doesn't fit, you can 
keep a separate list as you go along, and then see what headings you 
require to put them in, once you've completed the main bulk of the 
posts.

C - erm, maybe! It becomes a blur after a while...

much the same going to level 5, it just puts off the work of 
rearranging the other character codes until later.  Which one you do 
depends on whether you think you'll need the most specific subheads 
in the end or not -- maybe *in the end* Harry won't actually need his 
own category apart from other Gryffindors.


C - Right, what I am going to do temporarily is put it in this order 
for you, with the new heads as you have shown them, but I am going to 
go the level 5 version for the time being, and convert it to its own 
section later, as that is a lot of work and we are all in a hurry 
right now.

Shriek immediately if this is not what you want ! I'll go and do some 
more coding and come back to see...

C - no, it is not a problem to add further sub-heads once you have 
decided what you want (see above). You just won't know until you 
start going through them for real.
