I don't think the Marauders and the Trio are that much alike. Sure, they are all Gryffindors, therefore they have bravery and loyalty to spare, but they are not similar on personal levels.

Harry and James aren't alike, no matter what Snape likes to think. Sure, Harry has James's affinity for Quidditch, but James had been shown to be extremely confident and arrogant, full of mischief. Harry, on the other hand, is quieter and more unsure. He is a reluctant hero on every level, he has the penchant to blame himself (although rightfully on many occasions), and a martyr. They do have the similarity of not thinking before doing, though.

Harry, I think, has a lot of his mother in him's quieter side in him. So he's not quite like James.

Ron is barely like Sirius. If anyone's like Sirius, it's Fred and George. Ron is not the type to prank others, and unlike Sirius (whose humor is actually enjoyed by Remus), there are a lot of occasion (most, IIRC), which had shown that Hermione thinks Ron's humor is juvenile. Sirius is also the ladies' man and exceptionally good looking, which Ron is also not. Ron's insecurity is that he would be overshadowed by his brothers, meaning he's not different enough. Sirius's insecurity is that he'd be too much like his family.

They are different on every levels and above.

Hermione and Remus, however, are a more compatible comparison. That's one of the reason why Hermione and Remus are often shipped together, their brilliant mind and their penchant to ground their group of friends.
