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 do you think?
Now me: Silver Stag:
I've thought about these possible parallels and I don't quite see it.
Ginny, Neville and Collin aren't close enough to the trio to act as Lily,
Peter or another one of the Marauders.  The Marauders had to be a fairly
close knit group to work on animagus transformations and the Marauder's Map,
and yet we finished up Harry's fourth year and the others don't seem to be
much more than a side note in the books.  Sure, it could change in the next
3, but I don't see the parallels yet.
