Finwitch:

As I see it, Remus, James, Sirius and Peter formed a pack. Their leader 
(or alpha) was James (or Prongs). His loyalty, as I view it, belonged 
to the pack. When James married and fathered Harry - the whole family 
was part of that pack, the pack which, then, included Remus and Peter.
 
As for the events later - Yes, Remus IS in charge. The potential Albus 
saw in him long time ago... I'd say Sirius does submit to him. (after 
all, REMUS is now the one who has lived in the world etc.)

Remus shows inteeresting reaction when Harry says he heard his father 
when Dementors closed upon him.

And then, when *Harry* stops these two adults -- he's borrowing his 
father's authority - that of Prongs over Moony and Padfoot... (and he 
CAN do it - as Remus knows that Harry witnessed the death of Prongs - 
but doesn't know any details). Besides, I think they both agreed that 
being sentenced to Dementor's Kiss would be worse than death...
