[HP4GU-FAQ] a question of being accurate

Good question, but I believe the consensus is that we, the HPfGU community,
  use that term to refer to James, Sirius, Remus and Peter collectively. I 
plan to put a brief glossary in the Snape FAQ explaining this, and 
remarking on its non-canonical status. While it would be possible to write 
a FAQ without using this term, the second the newbie clicks on a link to 
the files they'll see the term, so we might as well admit to it.

That's the thinking, at least.
