Naah. I don't think Remus was what you call an "extra". An extra could move on from the death, he could betray...somewhat like Peter Pettigrew.
Don't forget the risk taken by the others when they knew he was a werewolf. If he was just an "extra" they wouldn't have done that. Peter Pettigrew was more of an "extra". They could have easily done off without him.
And you see in the end of the 3rd book during the Remus-Sirius confrontation, they kinda complete each others' words and come to a conclusion about Pettigrew without actually saying out everything in full sentences. This itself proves that their bond and friendship is pretty strong.
I guess Sirius got more importance 'coz he was the first father figure in Harry's life. Harry had someone who cared for him & wrote to him from OUTSIDE Hogwarts for the first time.
And in the 6th book Harry does expect letters and all from Remus, but doesn't get any 'coz he is erm living with his own kind and all.
And Remus is also important, he gets a wife and child. 😍 I think Sirius was more of a father+brother figure to Harry while Remus was a favourite Uncle types.
You'll know that both are equally important. You'll understand what am talking about in the last novel. :-)
