Re: Popular fanons you just don't get

There's no real, you know, evidence that Remus was the smartest, I acknowledge that, but I think it's at least a reasonable piece of fanon. But yeah, James and Sirius are both obviously very smart as well, they're just much less motivated. Especially Sirius.

Agree on everything else. It really bothers me with people calling Ron an idiot especially because it falls right into the general character bashing that he's subject to.

I actually don't think it is a reasonable interpretation at all. I think it is pretty clear in canon that James and SIrius were the brains of the marauders and at least as smart if not smarter than Remus. I think the only reason it is a fanon interpretation is the assumption that more studious=smarter which is not necessarily the case. And the fact that James and Sirius kept up with Remus, got decent grades, and came up with all the magical pranks they did in spite of being lazy and unmotivated says that they were smarter. Remus had to study harder to keep equal with them.

I think that's also a reasonable headcanon! I would probably go with the Remus one personally because I love Remus the most as a character out of any of the Marauders. But I don't think we really see enough of the Marauders, especially as teenagers, to be able to say definitively which is the smartest.

Also, this might be a problem of me not having read the books recently enough, but I got the impression that James and Sirius did all right on grades but not as well as Remus? Which doesn't mean they were dumb - again, they cared about other things - but I definitely got the impression they were behind Remus in terms of schoolwork. It almost seemed like a continuum, with Remus caring the most about schoolwork, Sirius screwing around the most, and James in the middle.
