Hmmm; good point about the analogy between the Marauders and the four
current students you mentioned. I just want to point out, though, that
you can't say that the characters and relationships are exactly the same,
just roughly. For example, James was the smartest of the Marauders;
Hermione and not Harry is the smartest of the current group. Another
thing: the current group isn't as given to practical jokes; probably
partly because they're too busy foiling evil plots and such.
I really, really want to see more of Neville in the future; he had a
really great moment towards the end of the very first book when he stood
up to the other three, but I don't think that was developed as much as
it should have been and he's been a little too far in the background
lately. The revelation about his parents in GoF was a great bit of
character development, though.
