That's good to hear.
On one hand we dont really have much of reason to keep from using them right away.
On other hand it would be good to hang onto them for now - at least 'till we know of stat preregs for skillbooks we are getting .
edit. Will we get an opportunity to change our title in near future? Or is it something Harry won't notice until he gets back to Privet Drive?

They work about how you think they will.
Str-Physical might, ability to carry heavy loads, push objects, and hit harder. Increases melee damage.
Vit- Health and vitality. Used to resist or lessen physical status effects, determines HP.
Dex- Flexibility and manual manipulation. Determines ability to dodge, flex, contort, movement speed, and ranged accuracy.
int- How smart you are. Affects maximum MP, and spell damage.
Wis- Your common sense and ability to make smart decisions. Affects MP regeneration rate.
Luk- How lucky you are. Affects many things.
As for the relationship system... You have your standard hated, unfriendly, neutral, friendly, honored, revered type system. I'm not going to give exact numbers right away, mostly because I don't have them for hated, honored, or revered yet. Still trying to decide good points for those.
Edit: In regards to changing the title, as with assigning statpoints, you can do so at any time. Just nobody has made an attempt yet.

Don't worry too much if there isn't a majority on changing the title. I realize I should have mentioned you're able to do so before, so I'll have it changed to whatever the majority on that vote is, even if it's just a small percentage of overall votes that include that.
For future reference, however, you can interact with your interface to whatever extent you wish from here on out. Since you didn't speak to anyone about it at the hut when the choice was offered you spent time learning the ins and outs of it, and how to manage them subtly. You don't know what everything /does/ but you know how to mess with them anyway.

Y'know, I'm kinda wondering what the laws in the wizarding world are regarding stuff like this. Ie, authors using our name without our permission.
Then again, maybe Dumbledore (or whoever is our legal guardian in the wizarding world) gave their permission, and one of the reasons why we're so damn loaded is because we're getting royalties for all the books using our name and whatnot?
James Potter was independently wealthy because the Potters were an old family with money, so Harry inherited that. The Potters weren't as wealthy as the Malfoys most likely, but they weren't hurting for money.
If we're not getting any royalties, then we may want to look into Wizarding law regarding that. (though since we're already wealthy it may be good for Public Relations to have that money donated to charities, like say taking care of orphans and victims of the Dark Lord who are still suffering)
Crazy7s1
Excellent
Good thing we just bought some books on Wizarding Law. Hmm if we do decided to do some donations to charities and such it could be a good idea to switch titles before we do it, just to maximize any reputation gains.
*shrug* I wasn't certain whether that was fanon or canon, given how much that crops up in fanfics. Still, good to know.
Yeah. Or institutions like St. Mungos, or some other form of trust or fund that might be beneficial to the wizarding populace at large (or be sold/presented as such).

Possibly, yeah. Then again, if we have to mico-manage something like that, it could easily become rather tedious over time.
@Halpo133; is there any chance we could just spend some time to ingrain the habit of automatically switching titles as appropriate for the situation? Ie, using "First Year Student" whenever he's about to go and train, then switching to "Boy-Who-Lived" for social stuff, or whatever? Without us having to specify it each and every time?

I could allow that, yeah. Though when you get new titles you'll have to specify when you're going to use them.
Also, another 30 minutes to an hour and I'm going to close voting.

How you will handle Dumbledore characther in this quest? Just merlin expy in ability but failing as an oldman? or just like Percy weasly that have a lot of talent but regret it later in his later years?.Or a kind man but stress by war and want to win even if sacifire his moral?
In Dumbledore own word,Aberforth is the one who hold moral highground in fight between brother,in my head canon that the reason that Dumbledore nose is broken and Dumbledore don't fix his nose, to alway remind himself of his failure.

While thinking on your options of where to go next you busy yourself with the chocolate and raspberry ice cream Hagrid got you. And subtly switching out your title from Freak to First Year Student.
After careful deliberation you tell Hagrid, "Let's get the potions ingredients next." Something that draws a chuckle from the large man.
"Like yer mom, then. Yer dad woulda been all over the broomsticks, but yer mom was more into learnin'. Potions and charms especially."
When you walk into the apothecary you're assaulted by the horrible smell of the place, a mix of bad eggs and cabbages. But even that can't take away from the fascinating variety for sale in the shop. While Hagrid waits for the man behind the counter to finish with another customer, a tall man with a hooked nose and greasy hair, you wander around, observing things in the shop, like glittery-black beetle eyes(five Knuts a scoop.)
When your attention wanders to some silver unicorn horns you are startled by a soft voice, barely more than a whisper, but somehow commanding.
"You won't be needing any of those for your first year."
Turning you see the same man who was at the counter standing there, looming over you. His eyes look over you, lips curling into a sneer. "And what is that you are wearing, Potter?" Without waiting for a reply he looks back toward Hagrid. "Did you not give him a chance to get dressed before dragging him out of his bed?"
"Now Professor Snape..."
So this man is one of your professors. And not a very polite one, it seems, as he ignores whatever Hagrid was about to say, turning to look at you again. "I had hoped you would not be as much of a dunderhead as your father. But like him you're drawn toward the flashy and expensive," This part of his statement is accompanied by his hand waving toward the unicorn horn you were examining, before it swings to point at the beetle eyes. "And overlook the simpler things that are far more useful in day to day brewing."
You feel you should be more affronted by his insulting words about your father, and you, but for some reason you're not as upset as expected. Maybe your [Gamer's Mind] coming into play again.
Regardless, you aren't going to let this stand. You're going to...
[ ] Meet insult with insult. Greasy haired bat...
[ ] Prove him wrong about your being a dunderhead.
-[ ] Write-in how.
[ ] Actually, on second thought, you are going to let this stand.

Dumbledore is Dumbledore. Supremely unhelpful, I know. But as of right now he is exactly as he was in the books. A bit manipulative, but honestly wanting what is best for the wizarding world. And a bit prone to making mistakes(such as telling students a corridor is dangerous and not expecting them to check it out.)
As the quest goes on and you all drive things further from the rails of canon his approach will change. How depends on your interactions with him and others. He could end up seeing you as the next Tom Riddle and react accordingly, or he could become a great mentor figure. Or he could be driven to senility and insanity(more than he already is at any rate.)
[X] Actually, on second thought, you are going to let this stand.
Eh, he's actually being less of an asshole than I thought. Just go with it.
