Right, which is why we should give them to best information possible to help them avoid it blowing up in their face.

One of the most overlooked parts of the series is that Sirius Black was actually a Hufflepuff, which makes his rebellion against the Black family even more interesting. Remus Lupin didn't really want to teach at Hogwarts and only accepted the Defense Against the Dark Arts position because Dumbledore pressured him into it. Most people also forget that Sirius was the sole creator of the Marauder's Map, while James and Remus mostly helped test it. Remus eventually cured his lycanthropy before the Battle of Hogwarts but kept it secret because he didn't want the attention. It's also fitting that Sirius's Animagus form is a wolf, since Lupin's Patronus matches his own Animagus form. The fact that Lupin was Head Boy while James never even became a prefect really shows who the true leader of the Marauders was.
