People make mistakes, and they stand with their consequences. Apologies follow, because ultimately, people are just trying. James was just trying. He was trying so hard, and he would always try harder if it only meant living up to his expectations. James Potter was just a person, he was just trying, and in the process he destroyed and built universes: love stories, friendships, betrayals, familial relationships, and wars. Where James Potter burns, and the world burns with him.
