Alla:

I apologise, I REALLY do not mean to look down upon your arguments. 
But I have to ask you this again. Could you give me ONE quote from 
canon, confirming that James was a DE. Am I understanding you 
correctly that you are not even claiming that James was influenced by 
Dark Arts. You are claiming that James was a Death Eater. That is a  
huge leap, IMO.


Now, please don't get me wrong. Even though I am a big fan of Sirius 
and I do like Marauders, I never claimed that they are perfect, but 
being flawed human beings and being a DE are two very different 
things, IMO
