*** [[Mind Screw|Oh dear god.]]
* I like this theory, except if you look at the personalities Sirius makes a better John (acerbic, creative, reckless, and with a tendency to push things too far) with James as Paul (a slightly softer counterpart). Remus works as [[Beware the Nice Ones|George]], and I suppose Peter works as a sort of alternate-universe evil Ringo. And, theoretically, Lily indirectly caused the ultimate "break up" (James's death, Sirius's imprisonment, Peter's disappearance) by...being there, I suppose, and having [[The Chosen One|such a special baby]]. But it was really [[The Mole|Peter]] who (rather violently) broke them up (which dear Ringo would ''never'' do!).
* Haha, I love this comparison. James works well for John, as both were clever, witty, glasses-wearing brunettes that had an unfortunate tendency to be casually cruel and bullying [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold|(but had a good heart underneath it all)]], and both were murdered tragically, leaving behind a young son (two sons in John's case). They also had a very close relationship with Sirius/Paul, "never seeing one without the other" and all, and so close that a few people even assume Ho Yay. Sirius is Paul: James/John's right hand man, talented and popular, and the handsomest of the group. You could also make parallels with the Paul Is Dead conspiracy and Sirius being wrongfully blamed for the Potters' deaths, what with being mistaken for something they're not and so many people panicking needlessly over it; also, a few (crazy) people who subscribe to PID think that the replacement Paul was responsible for setting up John's death (again, crazy), as Sirius was believed to have betrayed James. George works well for Lupin: perceived as the "quiet" one, and more mature and wise than their friends, and often overlooked in favour of Sirius/Paul and James/John. Poor Ringo is then Peter, but as people above have said, it unfortunately is a good match, as they are small, a bit awkward, and the odd one out among a very talented group. But of course, Ringo is a lovely guy and a loyal friend, while Peter is... well, yeah.
** This is EXACTLY what I think. I also believe Peter is an Alternative Universe Ringo who decided to go through the wrong path, betraying his friends. Like someone said above, Harry Potter is all about choices.
* Remember when Dumbledore told Harry that all you need is love? Maybe he shared this philosophy with the marauders...

== The [[Harry Potter]] series is real. ==
[[JKJ. K. Rowling]] might actually be a witch who pretended that her books were written as fiction, which means that there will be a dozen wizards out there wondering what this [[Harry Potter]] book is doing as fiction when it's all true. JK might've decided that she wanted the Muggles to know a bit about the whole wizard thing, but she needed to keep [[The Masquerade]] a secret. Cue "fictional" accounts.
* Uh... when I was younger, and was absolutely obsessed with ''[[Harry Potter]]'', I used to actually [[Daydream Believer|believe this.]]
** Hell, I believed that when I was ten -- and I still believe it today. [[Professional Wrestling|IT'S STILL REAL TO ME, DAMMIT!]]
* They could do like what happened in ''[[Paul (Film)|Paul]]'', where, by showing us what real wizards are like, it gets us used to the idea of them existing.
