Am I the only one that thinks James Potter got a bit of a short-straw 
by transofmring into a stag?

Apart from the mauraders keeping a werewolf in check, all the other 
instances of animagi we've seen have been for moving around unnoticed 
in the muggle (or wizarding) world - a beetle, a cat, a dog, a rat, a 
bumblebee (speculation <g>)... then a great big stag! Hardly go un-
spotted walking along privet drive, would it?

I know there's the whole majestic thing, but apart from fighting 
prowess it's  hardly a useful shape.
