Sirius Black and James Potter

Hello everyone, 

In several parts in the books Sirius and James are shown in their 
time at Hogwarts. In that time, they are shown to have been very 
immature, rash and sometimes (sorry for the rough language) very 
arrogant little pricks. 

I have to compliment JKR on a very accurate portrayal of some boys 
of that age. I have been an assistent-leader to a scouting group 
with boys that age and James and Sirius could have been two of my 
boys. 

Luckily enough most of them grew up and matured. That is what seems 
the most likely path that James took. Otherwise, he wouldn't have 
made Head Boy and I don't think Lily would have fallen for him.

Sirius is somewhat different. He reminds me of one of my fellow 
students at university. He is about nineteen/twenty and he has still 
a lot of maturing to do. A somewhat latebloomer on that aspect. That 
is how I envision Sirius. The only point with Sirius is that he 
didn't have the chance to do that fully, since he ended up in 
Azkaban and before that he had the war. And after he escaped Azkaban 
he also didn't get the chance to do this. First he was on the run, 
then totally couped up in Grimmauld Place. 

Just my vision on Sirius Black and James Potter.
