I got an email yesterday from someone telling how much they had enjoyed reading PWK. Apart from the warm fuzzies this gave me, they made an interesting comment about one of the characters. They told me I even made them care about Meredith, the Auror who appears in chapter 13

I was thinking it was writer lingo for something entirely different.

I've seen similar sorts of bullshit there. The proponants are usually people whose fics I've never found worth reading. I could care less whether I know if my characters like ice cream - or like you, I only do so if it's relevent to the storyline. Take the example of Meredith, I gave above - I don't think I ever decided what his first name was - it simply wasn't important.
I do recycle characters though. Denis Jacks from All Debts, first appeared as Ferenc Lazlow, an inspector in the Budapest police in an Angel fanfic I wrote a couple of years ago. I'm using him again in the piece of original fiction I'm writing at the moment. If there is a situation where you can re-use a good character it's such a waste not to!
