In general, main characters are the more nuanced and readers/viewers can relate to them - that's why they are main characters, and the story worth telling to begin with.
I guess this might depend on the reader. I often don't like the main characters and read books for the minor characters. I don't know why. I just think many main characters are one-dimensional and I can't relate to them. Sure, we have more raw data about them, but that doesn't necessarily translate into a two-dimensional character.

Heh, the examples you list were all written before the sixth book, weren't they? (I don't know Sodomite, but I read the others.)
