If you really do think about it though, Aang and Katara have a mother son relationship. Through the whole series she treats him like she would a son. She protects him, does everything for him and does baby him. She does love him, I will admit that but if you think about it the love seemed forced. Aang only made Katara more confused each time he kissed her. She was confused because she didn't see him that way, but each time he kissed her made Katara feel guilty that she loved him, as a result she made herself believe she loved Aang more then what it was. The only reason Katara was with Aang at the end was to show the little children the happy ending nick always tries to show. Aang perfected the elements, learned energy bending, mastered the Avatar state when he was told he would never if he couldn't let go of Katara, Defeated Ozai. Aang got everything he wanted. So… if he wouldn't have gotten the girl that would have left Aang devastated showing the viewers of nick a happy but not fully happy ending. There is an old sang, “Opposites attract” which is very true. Another quote “Air needs Earth, while water needs fire as much as fire needs water.” Even though Earth and Air are opposites they still need each other. Much liked Fire and Water. Now if the creators would have followed the way they planned Aang/Toph, Katara/Zuko. Aang and Toph would have been together because though they are opposites they complement each other. He is passive and gentle, where Toph is demanding and tough. Zuko is aspiration (A strong desire for high achievement. An object of such desire; an ambition) and passion, while Katara is Inspiration and devotion. Not only that but in the whole series only two characters truly do we know everything about them. We know just about everything about Zuko and his past. We know just about know everything about Katara and her past. We know bits of Toph, Aang, Suki, Azula, Ozai. They are the most developed.

As for the Zutara. The reason people like it is because in many many ways Zuko and Katara are completely different yet at the same time are both the same. Aang cannot share the pain Katara had over losing her mother sure he lost the Air Nomads but he was not actually there to lose them. Zuko on the other hand knows how that feels making the audience and Katara both realize that he is human. Both are determined stubborn and believe in something better. Even if one of them took longer than the other to realize it. You cannot say that the “Zuatara Shipping” came out of just a hug because it was much more than that. In Ba Sing Se, Katara let Zuko completely in. She believed that Zuko was the “something important” She realized that just maybe there was more to Zuko then what she had seen. I have no doubt in my mind that if Katara would have stayed in the room and waited for Zuko, he would have followed. She had fallen for the prince that is why she acts so angry at him in the 3rd season. Someone said that hate is the opposite of love. This is very untrue. The opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference. That is why people say there is a very fine line between love and hate. Another common saying is that you must love someone before you can hate them. She never truly hated him she was hurt that he had betrayed her.

They balance and complement each other. Water and fire. Dying to the old life and rising to the new. A cleansing from sin. Power given to live a new way. Yin and Yang.
