Generational Parallel

I have read in other places comments on the parallels between James 
Potter's "generation" and Harry's. The ones that come immediately to 
mind:

Harry and James share skill in Quidditch

Neville and Peter are the overweight and "under-achieving" members of 
the group

Harry/James and Ron/Sirius are best friends, and are often getting 
into trouble

Hermione and Lupin have physiological changes on a monthly basis 
which affect their mood, outlook, etc. And this change is tied to the 
lunar cycle. (for Lupin, this is of course based on canon. While I 
certainly don't expect JKR to get into menstruation in the books I 
don't think is not a stretch to see the connection).

Of course, there is the major plot point that Voldemort presented a 
threat to both generations, with a focus on the Potters.

With JKR's focus on "Your choices make you who you are" I personally 
discount the current theorizing of Neville's "predesitnation" to turn 
to the dark side. 

But I was wondering if there were any other connections that I've 
missed along the way?

Thanks as always
