Summary: The Marauders really do comprise their own private universe.
James is the blazing, searing sun in their heliocentric universe. Like the sun, he makes life possible for them, but he's perilous; suns are, even to their worshippers.
Remus is the moon--perpetually changing, constantly inconstant. His emotions fluctuate like the ebb and swell of moon-pulled tides, withdrawal concealed in each advance.
Peter is a planet--glimmering, but unlikely to be spotted among the sun, moon and stars that surround him.
Sirius Black is a cepheid, a variable star, operating on a cycle uniquely his own--sometimes scarcely visible in the sky, other times burning brighter than ten thousand suns.
