"Replacing" Zafira lets him pursue a hobby, like teaching karate.
Also, a big and obvious bodyguard makes people pay more attention to Hayate as someone who might have good reason to need a bodyguard, which can alienate her from potential friends while also drawing attention from the very sort she might need protection from. Yuuno is much lower key, and will draw none of the wrong attention. Also, being followed by a puppy and leaving that puppy to walk home on its own is also suspicious. |

Also, just because he's good with defensive spells does not mean Yuuno's a good bodyguard. |

I mean, it is good that people appreciate Yunno, but I think it is a bad idea to shaft someone away just to bring him out. It is unfair to Zaffy and I like him. He is also a victim like Yunno, so it makes no sense to shaft him away.
Like Keroko says, I think Zaffy likes being a bodyguard to Hayate and at the same time enjoys teaching karate to kids as well. No reason why he can't fulfill both roles. |

Until Touma just takes him apart with his protagonist powers the next time they fight.

Y'all know there was once a pretty cool guy that was able to block off both Nanoha and Fate despite having less PEW PEW power but due to mad skillz. He was also promoted to admiral of a cool ship which for some reason never sees that much combat. Have you all forgotten about him? Well, I know Tsuzuki has.

He happens to have the power that the villains do, just bigger and badder, and maybe has a grudge against one we haven't seen yet. I'd hardly consider that 'deeply involved' or central to anything. The Aces are the ones actually in charge and making decisions. He's nominally the protagonist, but that's it.

He's got the critical item the bad guys are after, has a special type of eclipse important to the Hucks, he carries a tome of a type seen wielded by only the leader of the Hucks and befriended a reactor central to the bad guys research.
He's in the center. Deep in the center. And the Aces making the decisions means he's not the main character? Yee, I guess that means Nanoha, Hayate and Fate were just side-characters in S1 and A's, huh? |

All of those except one are powers he happens to have that aren't indicative of his character at all.

He has powers and items very important to people important to the plot. That makes him central to the plot. Characters central to the plot are main characters. It's really that simple. |

more like his growth as a warrior/soldier as he's not exactly a mage per se. But yeah he was always in the middle of all this. The only big difference is that only recently he started to do pro-active main character stuff instead of being a passive main character.
