O. K  I am going to get in on this one...

Sirius: As I have stated before, I picture Sirius to be extremely 
handsome pre-azkaban days....very muscular..tall, around 6' or 
so..black hair obviously and a lovely smile...Post-Azkaban..thin..but 
not emaciated..dirty..long dirty black hair and very pale..

Lupin: I picture Lupin to be around 5'10 or so..a handsome man in an 
everyday sort of way..a little hairier than your average guy...light 
brown hair...blue eyes...and a forgiving face..nice warm smile.

Pettigrew: Short...fat during flashbacks of the old days but now very 
thin and balding..long nose and twitchy mannerisms..very nervous 
guy...with grey hair and dark, sneaky eyes.

James: I picture James to be the tallest, around 6'2..with dark brown 
hair and blue eyes...wonderful smile..glasses...nice, lean, athletic 
build..
