I think that he seemed more human in LOTR, before he "died and came back". He was captured for one thing, got tired, had to fight with the balrog. In the hobbit, if there was a probeblem, Gandalf could fix it, even though it was not his main concern, in LOTR it was his main concern. He didn't know what to do with the ring. He had to go and see the head of his order. Because of this, he seems more human.

However, after he comes back, I agree, he seems less human.
