Aunt Alexandra needs an entry here; she's at least as important a character as Miss Maudie. I'd do it myself, but I don't have a copy of the book and it's been YEARS since I read it in high school.
Always expect the worst and you can only be pleasantly surprised.
Karmic Death: Boo stabs him [Ewell] with his own knife. At least in the book, wasn't it actually a kitchen knife from the Radley Place that was used on him while Ewell himself used a switchblade?

Yes, it was. Heck Tate had Ewell's switchblade on him at the Finch house, when he told the doctor that the knife that killed Ewell was "still in 'im." When Atticus asked Tate where he got the switchblade he had on him, Tate's reply was that he "took it off a drunk." It's fairly obvious that Tate removed Ewell's knife from the crime scene to make it appear as if Ewell fell on his own knife; two knives on the scene would complicate the story too much.
- First-Person Peripheral Narrator: Moreso in the movie, which focuses less on her and more on Atticus
Scout can not be the protagatanist and the First-Person Peripheral Narrator at the same time.
I disagree with adding tropes from Go Set a Watchman. It's not a sequel, it's a rejected first draft of Mockingbird. The two books are not part of the same canon: in Watchman, Tom Robinson was acquitted. It should have its own character page.
