Kethryn - 

And, if you want to go the route of Snape not being able to tell the 
difference between Harry and James, well, he isn't the only one that has 
made that mistake.  Sirius has channeled James into Harry for a while which 
is understandable considering the way he lost his best friend but Harry is 
not James.  Honestly, out of the group James' peers (Sirius, Remus, Peter,  
and Snape), excluding James, Remus is the most adult of the lot and, from 
the snip in the pensieve, was always the most adult of the lot of boys.  

Kethryn who is sorry if that is confusing to read...it made a heck of a lot more sense in my head before I tried to write it.
