I know it's somewhat valid in theory, but again, the fact that Aang and Katara raised him (plus his difference in skin tone, backstory, etc) I would say disproves it completely.

Because while it is possible he was jealous of the bending in his family, I doubt Katara or Aang would ever treat his other siblings better for it, or spend less time with him. Sokka was surrounded by powerful benders and even admitted to feeling useless in the group, but as the series went became a valuble asset to the team, in strategy and in non-bending fighting. I'm sure Bumi would've found his own skills and his parents would've worked with him/praised him for them.

I'm just saying this is the son of the two nicest, most caring characters in the Avatarverse; preeeeetty sure he turned out all right.
