(sigh) haters gotta hate. On the subject of her sometimes nasty temperament, I would like to point out that she never really got in trouble as a kid pretty much regardless of what she did. Ursa would tell her off if she did something really horrible, like tease Zuko about Ozai being about to kill him, but you could tell it wasn't a common occurrence, and after Ursa left, all she was left with was Ozai, and she was daddy's little princess being trained to inherit the throne and be a strong leader (which in our society translates to tyrant even though in many ancient and even medieval civilizations it was just the way things were and pansies got chucked off the throne).

A person's conscience is in large part formed in childhood by being taught right from wrong by the parents, Azula never really got taught what was morally wrong when she had the chance, and by the time she was old enough to understand what she was doing was wrong in the eyes of society, she didn't care, or had at least convinced herself that she didn't.
