Okay, please do!

Meanwhile, for those who are coding, here are the definitions I have
in mind so far:

Character Traits/Maturation: for Harry's faults, virtues, attitudes,
how he relates to people, whether he studies enough, whether he's
boring(!), how good a friend/nephew/godson he is, etc. etc.  Snape vs
Harry debates go here also (the *nonrepetitive* posts about *Harry*).

Training, Powers, Protections: how powerful he is magically; how DD
might be training him; use of magical devices incl. his wand, cloak,
polyjuice, time-turner etc. (note: but not the *morality* or *wisdom*
of such use, which belongs under Traits); accidental magic; protection
via dragon's blood, the "put-outer" or anything else...

Parents/Ancestry: include posts about both known and speculated
forebears; heir of any & all founders; family he saw in the Mirror of
Erised; etc.

Versus LV/DEs: for posts about canon confrontations with LV or Riddle
and with DEs acting for LV, as well as speculation on future
confrontation and how The End might go.  Some cross-coding with
Harry's Scar and Harry's Dreams, etc. is inevitable -- use your
judgement (if it's really all Harry, use Harry's Scar, etc.; if it's
more about a confrontation, code here; code to both if you feel you
really need to).

Finally, if a post really doesn't fit any of these without forcing it,
just code it under Harry Potter. With our new, stricter coding
attitude, this should not get out of hand, and we can see if the need
for a new category jumps out at us.

In any category, I assume some posts will discuss canon events while
others will venture into speculation.  This way, as we get through the
final books we can still use the categories, which will become more
and more narrowed to canon as options are ruled out.

Agreed to these definitions?
