[quote=@Sombrero]Just wondering, in the case of Ginny's psychometry, what counts as touching an object?[/quote]Skin to object touch.

[quote=@Sombrero]If someone kicked a door down with booted feet, would she have to read the boots to see who did it, or the door?[/quote]
Either would work. If the door was in splinters, she'd have to go with the boot. However since most doors retain their durability even when broken, she could read the door just fine. It might take a little hunting to find the sweet spot, but it wouldn't be an issue. (If there wasn't a big boot imprint in said door)

In this situation she'd be able to see the boot clearer than the person. Since it would be traumatic (from the door's POV) it'd be easier to get a read on the boot. However she'd be able to see some of her person, and maybe even feel his/her intent. She wouldn't be able to differentiate between gender, unless it was very apparent. She might be able to tell height and skin color. But it would depend on the quality of the reading. She would however know boot size, color and maybe even the tread. 

Getting a reading from the boot would be harder. For the boot, it would just be another day. She'd have to dig through quite a bit of stuff, and depending on how long ago the event was, she might not find it from the boot.
