Trying to understand your idea: John Shade, Kinbote and Gradus, Sebastian, Pnin, Fyodor ( and perhaps Van Veen) ...are they the "good guys"? What do you mean by "good" ( and "bad")?
Did you simply mean "the guys" and not the gals?

A noble goal to compile such a list.
It did seem to me with respect to your query "I have been wondering...why we do not know Humbert's birthday (in contrast to Fyodor G-Ch's, his father's, Sebastian Knight's, Pnin's, and John Shade & co's) that the list of characters for whom we know birthdays is a list of good guys, exclusively.
