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.
