I think this is pretty much why I spent most of the series alternating between "O Zuko" and "OMG switch sides already you moron". Because Zuko's sort of right near adulthood, but not yet an adult. So I usually end up half-sympathetic and half-annoyed with the mistakes he makes, because in some ways he should know better, but in others he is still just a kid, and it's really hard for a kid to do the things he needs to do (hard for an adult too, but much harder for a kid). The way it's so well balanced in the show is one of the reasons I love it so much.
Thinking about Avatar in relation to Harry Potter makes me LOL, because I end up imagining Zuko at Hogwarts. I think he'd be a Gryffindor (brave, never thinks things through), but I also kind of think he'd hate all the other Gryffindors.
