It's also possible, Sadiki, in reference to the SP and TLG part, that the stress got to him. Loads of people who are normally laid back and chill can become very strict when given responsibilities like children that they aren't prepared for.
As for the way Simba behaved at the end of the first film, as that's the purpose of this topic... well, it all made sense considering his backstory and everything else. I mean Scar had destroyed everything Simba knew and loved, not to mention that Simba suddenly had a huge responsibility here... and also, Nala was very adamant that Scar was terrible for the Pride Lands... when the girl you're interested in says "this guy's a jerk, do something about it," most guys (and gals who like gals) do something about it, especially if they have other stakes in it like the well being of their mother and her friends/relatives.
Simba has every reason to act the way he does at the end of the film.
