The nether is a fiery oblivion, so I find it strange that the portal doesn't reflect this.
My suggestion is fairly simple: Make nether portal blocks occasionally have a lava spark come out of them. It happens with lava so I'd assume it would be easy to do with the portal, especially since it already emits particle effects(though there may be some technical issue with multiple effects coming from the same block).
I am not suggesting to change the nether portal to have anything specifically to do with lava, I'm suggesting that the sparks that come off lava can also come off portal blocks, in order to more accurately reflect the fiery nature of the nether.
Some might say that making the portal a different colour would be the way to go, but this is my take on making the nether portal, more nethery.
This suggestion would also mean that the other-end portal in The Nether should resemble the Overworld in some way. I think the portal is just meant to resemble a mystic device that allows travel between two completely opposite dimensions. If this idea came to reality, it'd be interesting, but I wouldn't care either way.

I think the portal is just meant to resemble a mystic and omnipotent device that allows travel between two completely opposite dimensions.

I don't think you know what omnipotent means...
Yeah, I kinda do. Still, that was a poor choice of words. Just ignore it.
