An heir is not only a tool. As he (or she) is a human being too, and a child of King (or Queen), he or she has to follow a similar Political line. You understand that if you know monarchy with absolute power. Ozai is a king with absolut power. He can't understand (he's not alone), to share power with anothers nations. And Azula has the same point of view. Unfortunately, Azula is a the second born, and she's a girl. She had to fight to prove she's stronger than her brother. The Firelord family reminds me the story of "Yvan the terrible", a tsar who killed his son, because his son betrayed him and tried to take him down. Yvan gave the throne to his daughter, Catherine, the fist tsarine... Fascinating story, don't you think ?

As for Ursa... I believe Ursa wanted to protect her family and decided alone to kill Azulon. Then, she feared Ozai's reaction and she decided to flee the firenation... Ursa had the time to farewell her son, but was arrested soon after, and Ozai had to sent her away... Maybe Azula witnessed this... And the little girl thought that her own mother betrayed the whole family to protect stupid Zuzu... And she began to hate this woman.
