No way is it going to be one year, way too many plot threads. Take Bacon's diary, it's not going to become relevant until Harry has the chance to start to read it, which he currently thinks requires learning Latin first.
I don't see that as a Chekhov's Gun, just a sweet quest item. (Note that it hasn't been mentioned again.)
Chekhov's Gun for this story would be James Potter's rock.
It has been mentioned again in chapter 37. I'm pretty sure it will come up again, at least in passing, but probably more than just that.
Yeah, having Bacon's Diary equipped gives Harry a totally sweet +1 to all his attacks. And it doesn't even use up a weapon slot!
Wow. I've totally missed that as potential grounds for a subplot. I just considered it 'scenery' in the early chapters.
I wished he'd hurry up and read it; I want to know what it says!
