 There's no room for a full grown stag to negotiate the tunnel to 
the shack. It's a "very low tunnel" PoA Ch. 17, and Harry has to 
walk along it "bent-backed" and "bent almost double." A stag, 
particularly one with a handsome rack of antlers (Prongs, you 
know) would never manage it. 

I always imagine James effecting the rescue on his broomstick, 
racing through the tunnel in the dark at breakneck speed.
