See, I'm not sure that one could argue that writing from a particular characters' POV necessarily means they're a major character in the story.
I believe it's possible for a story to be observed from the POV of a minor character. The fact that the character's POV is the central POV wouldn't necessarily mean the character has any significant reason for being in the story other than to provide a POV. If you get what I mean. *thinks about it*
Take Teal'c from SG-1. He's usually cast in the role of observer of Jack-Daniel-Sam (or, more recently, Cam-Sam-Daniel-Vala) without much to actually do. In that case, I'd say that Teal'c gets sidelined as a 'minor character'.
Not intending to denigrate your actual story, though. Just challenging the idea that a story cannot be depicted from the POV of a minor character.
