  Joe:
I am a bit curious about your James/Draco parallel. James showed off too much
and his pranks went too far sometimes. Draco tried to murder someone repeatedly with his only excuse being incompetence. Then he let Death Eaters into Hogwarts.

  Catherine again:
   
  (Sorry for the delayed response, but I've been catching up with the list for about  week now...) 
   
  Well, I see Draco/James as this. Both priviledged little rich boys, growing up pampered. Both with good looks and popular within their own houses, leaders of their own little gang. Bullying those whom they believe deserve it. 
   
  James *did* in fact try to kill someone in the name of Severus Snape but rethought the idea and warned Sanpe. He endangered the lives of the people in the village of Hogsmead while cavorting with a full-grown werewolf. 
   
  There are also many differences in motives which are significant, what James did for friendship, Draco does for glory and power. But the similarites are there.
