Why should it be explained in The Goblet of Fire?  The plot points about the
Marauders - them changing into animagi to keep Lupin company, Peter's
betrayal of them, and the whole prank have nothing to do with the plot in
The Goblet of Fire.  Lupin isn't in GOF, and Sirius' place in it is to offer
Harry advice, not explain what happened in the last year.  "Harry, remember
your DADA teacher last year?  The one who changed into a werewolf?  Well,
what we didn't tell you last year is that we all learned to be animagi so
that we could keep him company - that's why I'm a dog and Peter's a rat -
and your father was a stag, so that Patronus you saw was a representation of
your dad.  Cool, huh?  Oh, and Snape hated me because I tricked him into
going to the Shack when Remus was there and he nearly got killed, only James
saved him, and that's why Snape owes your father a life-debt, and that's why
he keeps saving your life even though he hates you and, in fact, the
Marauders and Snape had an on-going feud.  What's this got to do with the 3
challenges?  Nothing, just thought you might want to know.  Oh, it might
help you figure out that Rita Skeeter is also an unregistered animagi, but
they'll probably cut that from the plot, too, so never mind."
