More on Fred & George / James & Sirius

There are a few places in OOP that give me the impression that James &
Sirius were the Fred & George jokesters during their years at Hogwarts.

When Sirius gives Harry the mirror, he mentions that he and James used
them to talk to each other during detentions.

Sirius refers to Lupin as the "good boy" and again mentioning the numerous
detentions that James and Sirius received.

Finally Lily mentions James jinxing other students in the halls. I think
James did this more as pratical jokes instead of maliciousness similar to
Fred & George's canary creams covering Neville with feathers.

James and Sirius took care of their friends by learning to become Animagi
to keep Lupin company.  OOP has the fireworks (helping Dumbledore) and the
swamp (helping Harry).

Since they know that Lupin is a werewolf and Sirius can become a dog, I
think George and Fred have figured out the Marauders identity.  George and
Fred are extremely intelligent wizards inspite of the fact they didn't get
many OWLs.

I'd like to think that during the summer at the Black's house - Sirius and
maybe Lupin spent some time comparing notes with George and Fred.  It
could be one of the reasons Mrs. Weasly was critical of Sirius' child
rearing skills.
