Current "Marauders" vs. Original Marauders

I agree. Harry may look like James, but that doesn't really mean he 
*is* like James, but I can see why this is an automatic parrallel. It 
might just be me, but I do see Harry as being quite an insecure 
person. That's not saying James isn't, but I have never thought about 
it that way. Perhaps my mind has just been warped by fanfiction, and 
often James is this very loud, very self confident (but a great guy 
too) person. Or by Snape's own view of James, that suggests he found 
him very confident. Now there is evidence in Cannon to back this up 
to a certain extent, for example when Lupin says James would be 
dissappointed if Harry didn't find some secret passage out of the 
castle, but perhaps not more than that. Now, I guess what I'm trying 
to say (in a very longwinded way) is that I don't think we know 
enough about James or Lily, to say if Harry is like them in 
character. He might well be, but from the evidence we have, I think 
Harry does have some of Remus's qualities.
