Jen: OK, I guess there's no way around it. When we start coding Snape, 
there may be sections clicked like 'characterization'; 'character 
development'; or 'originality and use of stereotypes'.  I suppose the 
best thing to do is convert these to one of the two Snape 
characterization codes, whichever is most fitting. It seems redundant 
to keep both sets of codes. People will figure out pretty quickly the 
biggest characters have their own sections. 

The only thing that seems inconsistent to me now is that DD doesn't 
have his own characterization codes? Is Boyd done with that section or 
will there be new sub-sections for DD when all is said and done? I'm 
guessing most of the characterization posts are in the big first 
category (Albus Dumbledore, 612 posts).

Jen, down to the last 200 posts in the 500+ 'originality and use of 
steretypes' section and making a note to self not to leave the biggest 
section for the end next time.
