I also reckon Lupin was a marauder for a reason, and personally I think he was probably the brains of the outfit. He seems to be the kind of guy who examines all the possible outcomes of what he's planning, something that headstrong types like James and Sirius aren't as good at. Sirius seems to be a creative influence in the gang, plus able to put a lot of muscle behind it. James would have been the frontman, he seemed to have a kind of glamour about him, kinda rockstarish. Now while James and Sirius were both intelligent enough, they just don't think as deeply as Remus.
The odd man is Wormtail - apart from getting into nooks and crannies I don't get what he brought to the mix. Perhaps the abilities of his animagus form at hiding are reflected in his human form. As someone who was ever the greyman I can see Pettigrew being the one to find most or all of the secret passages and hiding places.
Just a thought.
