I don't really have a clear picture of Charlotte, because my first impression was rather negative - Wilhelmine's POV in Mildred's fic, your info on Anna Amalia -, plus her position as FW's favourite (which of course doesn't have to speak against her, see AW), but then her relationship with Fritz at least seems to have been amicable. It's a pity that there are so few of her letters at Trier (even though by 1900, the state archive apparently had four volumes of her letters to Fritz alone). Given the "playing it safe vs. secret letters" context here, I find it rather endearing that in a letter to Fritz from July 1733, she describes herself as having a "scaredy cat" heart and therefore not wanting to say more (about what - her new marriage, family, Duhan, ... - is anyone's guess).
(Did she join the "let's chastise Wilhelmine for the MT meeting" club that Ulrike and SD formed? I don't remember.)
And maybe one reason why FW was so much harder on Duhan than on Finkenstein et al.
Possibly, if Fritz was obvious about his favouritism (which I think would be in character for teenage Fritz). My other thought was once again the predestination thing, see my reply to Mildred above.
re: the books at Soor - maybe they weren't actually stolen but destroyed? I seem to remember descriptions of destruction and fire.
