Amey:

"They’re not birds!" Harry said suddenly. "They’re keys! Winged keys— look carefully. So that must mean..." he looked around the chamber while the other two squinted up at the flock of keys. "... yes—look! Broomsticks! We’ve got to catch the key to the door!" (SS/PS)

So we don't know exactly how many brromsticks are there.

Amey:
Good "DE" as in he is good person but DE (like Snape) or he is loyal DE? Sorry, couldn't help it.
Anyways I think that is what kept him from getting too much chastised in graveyard. And also, he is the leader of the DEs in DoM, even if Bella is there. So I think he is something more than just plain DE. Might be LV's right hand. (Any connections to *Hand* in Prophesy???)

Amey:
Yes, I was also thinking the same thing and came across this:

<OOtP>
Harry looked anxiously behind him again. Snape remained close by, still buried in his exam questions - but this was Snape's memory and Harry was sure that if Snape chose to wander off in a different direction once outside in the grounds, he, Harry, would not be able to follow James any further. To his intense relief, however, when James and his three friends strode off down the lawn towards the lake, Snape followed, still poring over the exam paper and apparently with no fixed idea of where he was going. By keeping a little ahead of him, Harry managed to maintain a close watch on James and the others. 
</OOtP>

So, we don't have any canon either way yet.

Amey:
Hi, I was that age not long before and if I remember right, the conversations we had among best friends were something like, sports, studies, books(because we were interested in reading) and teasing each other by some girl's name. I mean, girls were pretty low at that time on our  meeting agenda, teasing part apart. But, that kind of conversation won't help story line anyways, so it is not there (at least that's what I think). When it helped story (like Sirius and James talking about Lily), it is there. It might come in later.

Amey:
Saving Harry from danger comes into the deal also. He is harry's godfather, guardian. I don't think the way he was emotionally attached to Harry, he would have sat at 12,GP waiting patiently. It is not possible for anyone as emotional as Sirius to sit patiently (and I don't mean this as a bad thing).
