James Potter had no concept of personal space and would hug his friends just because "You looked sad."
In their first year, this is a summary of James Potter hugging his friends:
Sirius Black
James: *power hug*
Sirius: *flinches* W-what's this?
James: A hug. *steps back* What, never had a hug before?
Sirius: *shakes head slowly*
James: *disbelieving silence for a split second* ... c'mere. *crushes Sirius*
Sirius: !!! Not so tight! JAMES!
-----------------------------------------------------------
Remus Lupin
James: *hug*
Remus: ... what are you doing?
James: Hug. You look sad.
Remus: What? No. I'm not sad. Get away from me.
(But in reality, he enjoyed the feeling and it later became his habit too.)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Peter Pettigrew
James: *hug*
Peter: *confused but hugs back*
James: You know, you're the only one who let me hug you without incident.
Peter: Should I be concerned or...?
James: Most likely.
By their second year, all of them had gotten used to being hugged randomly.
(I probably love cinnamon roll! and mother hen!James too much tbh)
