I agree that as a symbol James As Stag works quite well and especially works as Harry's Patronus.  My 
problem with James As Stag is a practical one.  We have a fairly graphic description of how small a tunnel 
exists between the Whomping Willow and the Shrieking Shack.  I can imagine a large dog and a werewolf 
getting in and out.  But can you really picture a large stag with full set of prongs managing in the narrow 
confines!!
