re: minor characters existing just to be killed off: if they don't have a back story that catches the attention - if the author hasn't given them something for the reader to relate to - the reader won't care. it's why there were so many red-shirts in Star Trek. No one even knew their names, much of the time, and they were nothing but canon fodder, and we didn't care.
