*sighs* I am so going on a reading spree when I finish cranking these things out. The more Arthurian stuff the better.
The more I think about Sirius as Gawain the more I like it. Gawain has the same issue with reputation. I adore the early English Gawain who is utterly Arthur's man. Then you have the lecherous, treacherous Gawain from the French tradition and it all mixes beautifully into his post-Malory reputation.
Peter as Agravaine wasn't even thought out that much. I had bits of the conversation in my head and I'd got as far as Sirius=Gawain and Remus=Gareth and then thought, well, why not make James Gaheris and Peter - oh.
I saw the snippet you posted - sorry, I didn't comment. I was still all flu-boggled. Did you work out a way round the Andromeda problem?
I worked out Remus' patronus for an Azkaban story I still haven't finished. It seemed logical to make his patronus reflect the thing that improved his life the most.
