Because Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part1 & part2 are in different folders, should they be detected as multiparts? is this why I've had luck creating my own .nfo?.
I agree, that this does seem to be becoming more popular (the 2 part movies thing).
I personaly use "CD1" or "CD2" when labling my multipart movies. (not that I have any at the moment. I tend to download a complete one if im keeping it for my library)

Yep, sounds like a reasonable explanation as to why yours worked!
In my time working on MC, I've seen that people structure AND name their collections in many different ways, which we try to accommodate, and I reckon the XBMC devs try to as well. It makes for some interesting configurations (and problems!) but I think the main two structures are the "folder for each movie", and the "dump all in one folder" (altho' they might be the only two allowed). Incidentally, we had a feature request recently to allow MC to convert the folder structure from one to the other, which I would be interested in doing as a dev tool for user issues. I use the dump-in-one set-up, so I have to create a mock folder-for-each set-up for some issues.
Multi-parts are denied on my set-up; if they can't be spliced, they don't get on!
