Well, of course as an aside  I never thought of him as totally bad guy in school and believed that his interactions with Snape are at least in part based on his hatred of Dark Magic, so it is not like I have to buy the transformation from horrible James to great James, however I certainly think that he did bad things in school as well, so I did think that he needed to grow up.

Apparantly, it's the same mechanism that claims that spewing hate is a sign of 'an ability to love' and that a manipulative, megolamanic puppetmaster is 'the epitome of goodness' *grin*.
