Hey :o)  I absolutely agree with you.  I think history is to repeat 
itself up until a certain point.  JKR keeps stressing the importance 
of choosing what is right over what is easy.  I think similar 
circumstances and relationships will emerge in Harry's generation 
reflecting that of his parents' generation.  Then I think some 
characters (in the present) will make different choices than their 
historical counterparts did, and the lesson we learn will be in the 
consequences of those choices.  Did that make sense?  I see some of 
the same analogies that you do... ginny maybe as Lily, Ron as Sirius 
or Lupin, and possibly Colin Creevey as a future Wormtail.  Colin 
idolizes Harry and wants to be a part of his group in the same way 
that Peter wanted to hang out with James & his friends.  what you do 
you think?
