I violently disagree <g>.

In fact, I have a hard time finding many parallels between
the marauders and the trio at all.

Harry may look a lot like his father, and they both play
Quidditch well, and both have an "arch enemy" (Snape, Draco)
but other than that, it doesn't seem they act very similar or
have a similar outlook on things.
Same with Sirius.

And Hermione never seems to keep quiet, and says what she
believes in, even if it loses her friends, which is not like
Lupin.

And how does Ron resemble PP?

Does he fawn over, and admire Harry and Hermione?
Does he tolerate Harry and Hermione openly making fun of
him?

Ron is able to stand up for himself just fine, and his
morals seem okay to me.
The WW in general has a lot of improvement in that regard,
so why expect Ron to be perfect already?

He's always been able to change his outlook, if proven
wrong, and I do think that seeing werewolves and giants as
dangerous probably has it's reasons. They are, under certain
circumstances.

I'm sure, Hermione would take precautions when meeting a
werewolf at full moon, and seeing how she reacted to
Grawp...

Regarding Hermione's morals, I think she has gotten past the
point of putting rules above everything, but instead has
moved more toward "the end justifies the means". which could
be dangerous ground.
