I think Zuko and Azula might have felt empathic on some levels. For one thing, they both had a common obsession- to please their father. Zuko obsessively sought out the Avatar to capture him and bring him before his father to earn back his honor. Azula was determined to be the "perfect" daughter that her father expected of her. It doesn't surprise me that Zuko feels some compassion and pity towards his sister. Firstly, Azula is his sister. I don't believe anyone has the capacity to utterly loathe a relative (although, Azula is an exception via her psychotic state). Secondly, I imagine that, when he sees Azula, he reflects on his own past, and the places he's come from. He desparately sought out his father's love and respect- something Azula struggled to obtain from her mother. Contrary to Azula's circumstances, Zuko had another father figure in his life that set him on the right track- Uncle Iroh. Because Azula had never experienced such concern from a relative, Zuko may believe it's his place to serve Azula, not as a servant bound to his duties, but as a concerned sibling who seeks to guide her to [i]her[/i] crossroads of destiny.
