<<I have to agree with Ebony here. I see Remus as being the quiet moody
one. Pettigrew was clearly the "hanger-on." James was the leader --
outgoing, popular, Head Boy, Quidditch star, top marks -- but not a
womanizer. I have the perception somehow that he only had eyes for
Lily. I don't know where I got that idea.>>

Okay, I take back the idea that James was a womaniser. I suppose I should
have implied 'popular with women and at ease with them' rather than just
continuing with the term womaniser.

I think there are some references to James and Sirius being troublemakers
along the lines of the Weasley twins, without suggesting which of
them might be leading the other. So, there's sense of fun in there
too in Sirius' early days. Much of that was probably wiped by his days
in Azkaban.

I think Remus and Sirius could both be introverts. James
is perhaps the only one of the Marauders with an extrovert
personality. Snape called him 'arrogant,' which we can translate as
'popular-through-a-screen-of-jealousy. I think the others took James'
lead, and Sirius was his first lieutenant.
