When I read PoA for the first time, I was the same age as Remus is in the book, so I really related to him. I think he missed the boat with Harry, though. He had the perfect opportunity to tell Harry the truth about himself, Sirius, his parents . . . or at least the bare bones facts, and didn't do it. I thought then, and still think now, that if Remus had been the one to tell Harry, Harry would have trusted him, maybe even trusted him enough to show him the map when it was still possible to catch Peter and prove Sirius' innocence.
Reading these books as an adult also made me incredibly thankful to be an adult and NOT a teenager. :P
And I loved the line after Christmas dinner when Harry and Ron left the table and found the corridor devoid of mad axe-men. ;)
