Jen: Scrolling through the first section in the catalogue, several 
categories combine similar ideas like "friendship/loyalty" 
and "equality/fairness". They aren't exactly synonymous but have 
enough overlap to fit together. In short, I'd say power & ambition are 
close enough to live together in a category.

As for Harry being a seeker, do we need a category for Harry's 
agenda?!? Nah, mostly kidding, mainly because we've coded too many 
posts to go there now. I think JKR is writing Harry's ambition or goal 
as bravery/courage since she stresses that so often. Would the posts 
fit in that category?

If not, you can't just code to Harry or Anne will pitch a fit. :)
