There is a site dedicated to the story at hpmor.com, which is now the place to go to find the authors notes and all sorts of other goodies. AdeleneDawner has kept an archive of Author’s Notes. (This goes up to the notes for chapter 76, and is now not updating. The authors notes from chapter 77 onwards are on hpmor.com.)
Spoiler Warning: this thread is full of spoilers. With few exceptions, spoilers for MOR and canon are fair game to post, without warning or rot13. More specifically:
You do not need to rot13 anything about HP:MoR or the original Harry Potter series unless you are posting insider information from Eliezer Yudkowsky which is not supposed to be publicly available (which includes public statements by Eliezer that have been retracted).
If there is evidence for X in MOR and/or canon then it’s fine to post about X without rot13, even if you also have heard privately from Eliezer that X is true. But you should not post that “Eliezer said X is true” unless you use rot13.
Yes. When he went into the room with Hermione's body, he turned the time turner and transfigured her body into a ring while also transfiguring something else (presumably something very small) into a copy of Hermione's body. He then hid from his past self and left the room just after his past self entered. After the transfiguration wore off, the 'body' dissapeared.

Nothing. They are no longer counting on him to protect Harry from a returned Voldemort. Unless you mean whether he is going to evolve as a person and maybe develop a love life.

I suspect it was only an example of how yes, Potterverse magic can be that destructive (something we would not guess based on canon).

Unlikely. Knowing the Killing Curse is perfectly legal, and a lot of people have managed to learn it even though it is not taught in school. Come to that, the information we have suggests that it is also perfectly legal to use, just not against humans (unless they are Death Eaters, assuming the Monroe Act hasn't been repealed).
[...]
Because Harry has a lifetime's worth of lost/repressed Tom Riddle memories. We know that they're still in there somewhere, because he recovers the memory of his imprinting and of the locations of Voldemort's five "elemental" horcruxes.
This is a new thread to discuss Eliezer Yudkowsky’s Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality and anything related to it. This thread is intended for discussing chapter 116.
