Psychologists don't even think the nature vs. nurture question is even a real question anymore. One or the other is simply an old way thinking. It's definitely both. If what you say is true then twin's raised apart should grow up to be completely different people, yes. But that is not the case. Read up on the Minnesota Twin Study.

Personality traits are hereditary. As I said before Azula showed signs of being a sociopath (abusing animals, lack of empathy, and general cruelness) and so did Ozai. It's a disorder that can be passed down genetically so Azula had a predisposition for it even when she was young. Her behavior was not only encouraged by Ozai but it was inherited from him.
