James Potter is utterly brilliant at picking up on people's weakness. Thing is, this can be a really good thing too. Yeah, he uses it for the 'downfall of his enemies', but even more important, he uses it to lift up his friends. He sees where they hurt, where they ache, where their soft spots and old scars are, and the older he gets, the more he loves his friends, and the more he seeks to be the strength in their weaknesses.

Does he always get it right? No. Does he occasionally exploit a weakness when he's mad? Yeah. But does this become a huge part of why he's the glue that holds the Marauders together? You bet your boots it does.
