Some Basic Questions

First off, please don't yell that I should know this already... I am 
a slow learner.

Ok, so I am new here... I have spent the past two weeks or so trying 
to catch up on all 19,000 or so posts... not doing a very good job.  
(I am on 825)

I know that there has been talk about making a place where one can 
read basic ideas that have been formulated about certain 
characters/events/things.  For example, instead of reading all 19,000 
posts to decide what Snape's motives are, I could just read the basic 
ideas this group has come up with.

My question is, does such a place exist, where do I start reading to 
understand all that I have missed, and WHAT IS ALL THIS TALK ABOUT 
THE WAND MIX-UP, cause I don't think I am EVER going to catch up at 
the rate I am going.
