stuck on the Voldie front

[quigonginger]

OK, I got the main LV down to 1382 posts.  

That's the good news.  I have pulled out all the "meaning of name" 
posts, which include anagrams and why he uses "Lord".  I also did a 
search and pulled out the Evil Overlord Handbook posts.  I just did 
a "find" thing on those and searched "overlord".  I figured that I 
can always add any that I find along the way.  These posts have been 
put into their proper categories.

So here's where I keep getting stuck.  The categories.

I don't know what some of them mean, and others blend so that I don't 
know where one ends and the other begins.  

Could I suggest some?  Maybe I'm not understanding the definitions 
that the ones there already have.  I don't know.

Having read all the 1382 remaining posts at least twice, I think we 
could go with the following revisions.  If that's OK with everyone.

I'll put them in outline order so you can see how they'd stack up.  
I'm not including acronyms at this time.  An * indicates a footnote 
explanation.

1  LV's family
     A  Parents
     B  Slytherin's heir
          i  Meaning of name
     C  Related to other characters*

2  Life before Harry
     A  Orphanage*
     B  Hogwarts years*
     C  Post-Hogwarts/rise to power*
     
3  Events post-Harry
     A  Godric's Hollow
     B  Albania and pre-rebirth
     C  Graveyard rebirth   
     
4  Plans and powers
     A  Agenda
          i  effects of prophecy
          ii  Evil Overlord Handbook
     B  Possession (general)
          i  of Harry (includes scar connection)
          ii of Ginny
          iii of Quirrel

5  Relationships with...
     A  Snape
     B  Dumbledore
     C  DEs and dark creatures
     

6  Character analyses

7  As a plot device*

8  As a Literary Characterization*

9  RL parallels

*1C- This would be for those posts that wonder if he is related to 
Harry or Lily or Snape.....
*2A- Not much at this time, but will be plenty in the future.
*2B- This would include his search for his heritage and also his time 
as "Diary!Tom"   
*2C- Would include horcrux making when we get to it, and also how he 
recruited his DEs.
*7- what the heck does this mean anyway?
*8- Ditto above

This is kind of vague at the moment, and I'm sure that some would 
have to be further divided.  I am not sure what the Time travel cat 
was supposed to be, but I am assuming that it was wondering how LV 
could be the last ancestor of SS.  in that case, it could be a sub-
cat of 1B.  If there is another meaning, let me know, please.

Anyway, I've tried several times to get going on this and always get 
stuck because I'm not sure what a category entails.

Help?  Explanations?  Chocolate?

Ginger, rooting for Chicago tomorrow against her better judgement, 
and hoping that no one remembers that she said she hoped to have this 
done by Superbowl Sunday.
