>> Well, it took me a while, but I've taken Melody's (I think that's
who thought this up) secret code based on vowels and run with it. I
do love secret codes. However, I've made a few changes. Here are the
new rules:
1) You must use the fullest known form of each person's name, you
can't pick and choose a first or last name.
2) You cannot assume a name is a nickname and choose another name
unless canon supports it (i.e. Ron becomes Ronald but Bill does not
become William, etc.)
3) Y is counted as a vowel
And here is how the code works:
An even number of vowels in the full name constitute good.
An odd number of vowels in the full name constitutes evil.
There are, however, some exceptions. Evil isn't always evil. It's
sometimes a good person who inadvertantly aids evil. Same thing for
good. Could be that a person who was really bad "messes up" and aids
the good side unintentionally.<<<
Now Me:
See how addictive these things can be. I must say your code is just
as worthy of being a Potterland Code. Your rules are precise and do
fit with the understandings we have of the characters. Seems we will
never know though if our codes are correct until the end of the
series, or will we.....
I've decided the codes are not a conscious, deliberate code from JKR
but rather a subliminal act from the back of her mind she did not
realize. It least that is what I tell myself to justify all this.
