> I'm going to make myself unpopular, but here's my take on this.
> I think that Sirius and James were the tight-knit friends of the

> Fred and George, and Sirius admits to Harry that he and James were 
> often in detention.  What is it about studious, nose in his book 
> Lupin that would make James & Sirius take notice?  I think that the 
> fact that Lupin is a werewolf and that they saw the potential for  
> fun cavorting with a werewolf was what made them want to befriend 
> Lupin -not that they befriended him first, then accepted him being 
> a werewolf.

say that they were friends first.  PoA Uk vers Ch 18 P259.
..."Now, my three friends could harldy fail to notice that I 
disappeared once a month.  I made up all sorts of stories..." [Lupin 
talking]
