Who should own my home directory?



Which group should 'own' the files in my home directory?

I just noticed that most sub-directories and files in my home folder are owned by 
dan:dan.

dan is the user account i use on my pc, it is the only account i log in 
under other than root (this is a home pc, i'm the only one that uses 
it).

The output from 'groups' shows that I am not a member of 'users' 
but that my initial group is 'dan' which as a gid of 1000. The 'users' 
group is gid 100.

This doesn't seem right to me. 

How does debian work in this respect? Should there even be a 'dan' 
group? Should my primary group be users?
