sachmet96:
I don't think James risked his life. We should not forget he was an 
Animagus and werewolves don't kill Animagi. So if it got too 
dangerous he just had to transform into Prongs. So no danger at all 
for him, as he spend lots of time as Prongs with Lupin. He must have 
known that. The only one who didn't know was Snape, that's maybe the 
reason why he feels he owes a life debt when in fact he doesn't.

Taryn:
Wait, wait, wait. Since when do werewolves not kill Animagi? They can't turn them into werewolves while in Animagi form, true. And we do know that Lupin was "calmer" in a sense with James and Sirius around, but we also know that James and Sirius's physically large Animagi form helped them to keep Lupin under control. James definitely was in much LESS danger than Snape, but he wasn't perfectly safe. But that's the whole point--Sirius and James weren't absolutely safe with Remus, but he was their friend and they cared enough for him to risk their health.

Unfortunately, my copy of PoA is with a friend at the moment, so I may be missing something (besides quotes for my points).
