Anne:
To elaborate a little on Carolyn's answer: to go the cross-referencing
route is to go into madness.  There are plenty of smaller categories
with posts that mention Dumbledore, or Snape, or Harry.  However, what
they have to say about those three (or LV; mustn't forget him) is more
than likely very much Adds Nothing New as far as the Big Four are
concerned.  Cross-coding to them is how the bloated categories got
that way in the first place.  It doesn't help keep any of the other
categories tidy, either.
