Hi! Haven't really had a chance to say anything for the last while 
and I tried reading up on the past posts to get up to date.  You guys 
seem to have created a lot of new organizations while I was busy 
dealing with my school work.
Well you can sign me up for almost all of them :)

Well to the point now, I was just thinking about how Harry, Ron and 
Hermione resemble the old group.
Everyone says Harry resembles James in both his behaviour and looks, 
which is probably true.  And I find that Ron does kindda behaves 
impulsively as Sirius does and he does seem to dislike Draco as 
Sirius dislikes Snape (and vice versa).  Now Hermione, I find that 
she is similar to Lupin, not that I am saying that she is a tom-boy 
or he is feminine (These two are my fav characters--well especially 
Lupin since he reminds me of a fav teacher).  They both seem insecure 
and lonely. (Hermione, I find doesn't socialize with many girls 
except for Ginny.  When Ron and Harry were fighting with her, Hagrid 
said that she visited him often because she was lonely.)  But at the 
same time, they are both likable characters since they both are very 
intelligent and compassionate towards others.
In the PoA, Harry imagined that Peter Pettigrew looked like Neville 
when he was reinacting the scenes of what happened before his parents 
died.  Is this some clue that Neville is the fourth member of the 
bunch?  I don't ever, ever, ever think that Neville will do what 
Peter did since he seems to be a very different person that Peter (he 
has his own strength, he doesn't hide behind stronger people).  And I 
think that this time they (H/H/R) will learn from the past 
experiences of Sirius and Lupin to make the story end on a happier 
note.

this out of my mind)
