3.16.4.6 - 3.16.4.9 Review (individual houses)

[corinthum]

3.16.4.6 through 3.16.4.9
Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw
================================================

The was a LOT of peripheral mention type posts in the four house
categories, especially with Slytherin and the various characters
associated with that house.  Most of these posts belong with the
character (Draco is evil/redeemable posts, Snape does/doesn't play
favorites posts, etc).  

Because the Hogwarts houses are such an integral part of the story,
they come up in almost all discussions.  Only use the house categories
for posts specifically focused on the characteristics of the house or
students (as a whole) in the house.

I had to laugh at the intro to #35196, by Elkins:

"Much Snapestuff here. Snape and Reader Expectation. Snape and 
Subversion. Snape and his Old Gang. Snape and House Slytherin. 
Snape and the Malfoys. Snape's Sudden Movement. Snape Snape Snape 
Snape Snape."

Did our job for us.  However, the entirety of this thread (full of
long, well-written, extremely thorough character analysis of Snape,
between Elkins, Porphyria, Eileen, and a few others) was coded to
Slytherin (as well as several other peripheral codes I didn't touch
due to time constraints).  Don't do that!  

Some specific comments on subtopics:

Heir of Slytherin/Heir of Gryffindor arguments go to the founder
codes, not the House codes.

For sorting/house of individual characters: only code to the a house
if making a specific argument for or against a single house. 
Otherwise, code to Sorting process and the character.  And only code
if the discussion is centering on how that particular chartacter
embodies the qualities of the house(s) (not predictions based on JKR
comments, events or comments in canon, personal predictions, etc).

I came across a really long thread discussing the House Cup switch at
the end of PS/SS and whether it was overly cruel to the Slytherins.  I
uncoded almost this entire thread from Slytherin; the chapter code and
house championship more than adequately cover this (a few posts
focused on Slytherin traits and why the other students all cheered, so
these ones survived). 

Finally, there are more than enough "Slytherins are all evil... no
they're not... yes, they are... no they're not" arguments in the
Slytherin category, so think very long and hard before sticking
another one in there.

Neither acronym is used outside these three posts, although the ideas
they embody are frequently discussed.  They'll almost certainly merge
into 3.16.4.6 eventually.
