I think that I'm not that much like Sirius at all. He's just so wild and impulsive and I'm not like that in the least. Actually, I took one of those character tests one time and it said that Sirius was the HP character that I was least like which may very well be true. Being so different from him does make him interesting to me, though. And it's fun, almost a form of wish fulfillment, to write about someone so very different from myself.
With Remus, there are certain things about him that I identify with such as his tendency to hold himself apart from other people. I also identify with the whole werewolf thing to a certain extent because he has this huge part of his identity that he has to keep a secret and I think that's very easy for certain groups to identify with. I think that I'm also different from Remus in lots of ways as well, though. So it's not as though I write about either character because I think that I'm just like him.
