Well Katara, Azula and Zuko don't really have true hate that they share as she seemed to do the unnecessary for him on some occasions. A lot of the Chars have done life threatening things to foes that they don't really hate. Even Aang. And that doesn't exactly mean they hate these people(yeah that's something M & B sort slipped on). Most of their behavior, is from pure jealousy towards him, and vice versa for his side. Her wanting the love he had, and him wanting the love that he thought she had. I wouldn't be surprised if she only did that(when Ursa was there) to get her moms attention sense she hogged Zuko all of the time, from the looks of things. He'd run to mommy and she'd probably come to scold her about it. Its scolding but hey, its her mom showing interest. It obviously hurt her when she left, along with a few other stuff. So another thing is that Zuko is a perfect vent. If you think about it, shes like a little bully. Down sizing others to build herself up. Keeping the mentality that shes the best and all that rot. I admire how she can deal with most of this stuff and even learn to hide it, just as Mai did with her feelings. The natural need for Perfection came from her trying to be Ozai's ideal offspring. To keep him proud and to gain his approval, sense hes like the only thing she for such a long time. Growing mentally attached to the guy from seeking closeness and finding it nowhere else(even though its such a small amount and he obviously raised her to be a weapon). So another thing is, that I wouldn't doubt she'd take him if Ozai wanted it.

Now a small hint of gratitude /did/ show when she allowed him to come home, and was even a little reassuring to him in the start. She didn't have to do that. Could have just throwing him in the brig with his uncle and gotten triple credit. And when she gave him the credit, it wasn't really just to see him fall, cause really she could have done that at any time if she wanted to. It was more than likely that she did that out of fear of what would happen to her if Ozai found out his perfect solider had failed him. Zuko was always linked to failure, so he was the easiest way out. Besides for the battling of a lot of the encounters and trying to kill him. There was no true strain on the relationship that Zuko didn't cause himself.

And to the last reply above mine. If fire can crush earth then it can knock away a knife. And plus, if situations would be perfect the fire probably couldn't stop it, but the knife couldn't stop the fire either. Fire is a plasma and has no solid for, so a piercing projectile like her daggers would go through, but most likely not stop. Aang could barely defend against Azula's attacks with airbending and there was an occasion of when Zuko's fire when through Katara's water. Even Azula vaporized a giant attack from her.
