Countdown to small gifts 3/7: Head canon

[smallgiftsmods]

Welcome, folks! Every year at small gifts, we start off the holiday season with a week's worth of discussion posts. It's a chance to get to know other participants (or say hi again), meet our readers (hi, readers! we love you!), and while away the hours before December 1. We'll have one topic per day until November 30. Come on over and introduce yourself on our Day 1 post!

Remus I tend to like as the instigator for a lot of their pranks when they're younger. I mean, he was a Marauder for a reason, and I don't think it was simply proximity. He's just a lot more cognizant of the consequences of his actions. He's had to pay attention to them far more than your average child should ever have to.

Agreed! I can see Remus being a good follower, too, but not exclusively--their relationship in canon is too give-and-take for me to believe that they didn't take turns leading and generating ideas. M.

Oooh, I love seeing different opinions! I actually don't see Remus as being a good follower at all. I see him being almost fanatically devoted to his friends, often at his own expense. I feel like if he were a better follower he would have told Dumbledore that Sirius was an anamagus when he still thought Sirius was guilty.
