Those are other ways to interpret. Though like you said at the beginning: Cliches.

Since Jaune's aura is confirmed to be based on the ability of protection, I think of those scenes as his will to protect people. Though I have to say that the last one was definitely Jaune protecting Cardin. After all, he could always walk away and leave him to die and all his problems would have been solved. Plus he was scared of the Ursa Major at first and knows perfectly that he's not ready to take on things like that but he still fought it because it was going to kill Cardin. Plus he didn't know that people were watching so how was that going to raise his popularity anyway?
