Goodies vs Baddies

As I code, I'm coming across posts that cry out for a general category of
goodies vs. baddies. Now we can't code for OotP/DEs (but that is the essential
split), but something more general would save a lot of unnecessary coding for
individual names. For example, take a thread titled Nott & the DEs starting at
#42806. That first post is the worst, and I left it at Nott, but it's about
the DEs generally. There's no good use coding every individual.

Or take the exciting DE Spawn thread, beginning at #42867. This is a bizarre
theory claiming that since many of the DE's children are roughly the same age,
it might have been an Voldy edict to 'go forth and procreate a DE generation'.
But you can see that whatever this is, it's definitely general DE business.

Naturally I have to argue for the OotP side, although I've seen much less of
that generalization. But the DEs as a group need coding for, the List is
looking at them that way.

Opinions?
