I would disagree- we have no proof that James made his Stag first, and then 
Lilly got subservient with a Doe Patronus!

Rather, I think it's much more likely that Lilly first produced her Doe, and 
then James, wanting to be the one to "get her", made his the handsome Stag. 
After all, we have proof from earlier memories seen in the Pensieve that 
James adored Lilly long before they developed a relationship.
