Sounds good to me.

I don't know.  The symbols for sex and house affiliation were known at
the outset; the other symbol was up for debate and most concluded that
it referred to pureblood, halfblood, or muggle-born.  I was thinking
either "3.5.2 Purebloods & half bloods" or "3.16.0 Hogwarts -
General".  Yes, no?

either about 1000 or about 400 of them, depending on whether you
choose to count in base 4 or base 5)
