Derek is interesting because he is probably an even bigger hero than Scott is. He is often willing to endure massive suffering and risk his life to protect other people. Indeed, the fact that he has even done so for Stiles, who he otherwise has no reason to care about, is a large part of what fuels Sterek fandom. More significantly, he often does the real work of resolving threats. Scott is often just an observer. If you look back over the series so far, you might make the shocking discovery that Scott has never decisively dealt with any of the bad guys, ever! The closest he has come to doing so was switching out Gerard's medication for Mountain Ash, and that was really Deaton's idea not Scott's.

So sometimes we wonder who the real protagonist is.
