I don't know if something like this does already exist.
I would find it very useful, too, and so I've started to do this for 
myself according to 1) Snape and 2) the Dark Arts.
I'm nearly through with PS and have already picked out the first 
relevant pages of CoS.

Because it's a lot of work, I would be glad if some one would like to
help - is anybody interested to?

I use the bloomsbury paperbacks that are available in germany.
