Have "concordances" quoting all the canon descriptions and dialogue of certain
significant lesser characters been created, as far as anyone knows? Snape would
be the most obvious one, I would think, but it would be interesting to do this
for McGonnagal, as well, or perhaps Dumbledore. Scabbers/Pettigrew could be
fascinating, too. And Neville probably needs this treatment the most.

My reasoning is that bundling all the canon details of some of these characters
together in one place might help us to see some of them more clearly. (Canon
would here include both the books and interview transcripts.)

This makes less sense for Sirius or Lupin, as they are primarily described and
appear in large cohesive sections of one or two books, but might make more sense
going forward.

(who keeps wanting to think Snape is really better at heart than he seems, or
McGonnagal more significant, but keeps coming up against descriptions otherwise
in canon)
