For your information, there is a database of acronyms in the group. 
Click on database (in webview, in the left-hand side menu), and select 
the last one: Inish Alley. It's got a helpful search feature, too.

LYCANTHROPE: Lupin Yields Candy, A Nasty Trick; He's Really, Obviously, 
Perfectly Evil

(Found by following that path)

Yes, HP4GU is acronym intensive, thanks to the influence of one by the 
name Tabouli since she used to make great acronyms for every situation. 
I have perpetuated the tradition, since I believe acronyms are fun. 
You'll just have to bear with us, I'm afraid. It's a helpful feature, 
thought, since you just asociate the theory to the cacronym, and the 
most important details are normally included in the acronym (if it's 
well done, that is).

For example: MAGIC DISHWASHER (Mysterious Agendas Generate Interesting 
Conclusion: Dumbledore Is Secretly Hatching Ways to Assure Superiority 
for Harry in the Emerging Resolution) ---> A theory about Dumbledore 
spying methods.

Hope that helps,

Grey Wolf, who hopes Darrin is not too offended by his play on his 
name, and wishes to offer his sympathy since he has been victimized in 
similar fashion before. Who also promises not to do it again.
