You know, if you're looking for animagus insight into the personality or mannerisms, 
I've always thought it was a tie in to James' arroggance.  When James is running a 
hand through his hair to muss it up in OotP, I was reminded of a stag tossing his 
head about (with a great rack of horns) in a display of might.  Whan Snape is 
describing James as strutting, I see how a stag would strut or prance.  And of course 
all these masculine displays of virility are more pronounced when a stag is in mating 
season and looking to impress potential mates--just like James' antics were 
pronounced when Lily was present.
