Er, you are very wrong, there is an important distinction between protagonist and main character. The Protagonist is the principal character of a story, said story being about them. A main character is any character who has a major purpose or role in the plot and/or interacts regularly with main characters. The characters you see around the most will generally be main characters.

By this definition:

-Touma is the protag of Index, but demoted to a main character in Railgun. -Index is a main character in Index -Mikoto is a main character in Index, but gains the status of protagonist in Railgun. -Kuroko is a main character in Railgun, but a secondary character in Index.
