It is true that sociopathic behaviors are hereditary. And seeing Ozai acting the way he does, that would be a possibility. However, as Kaizuh said several times already, it was due to enviornment more than what was inherited that contributed. I do not mean to repeat what was already said, so I will take a different perspective on the matter. (I will try at least. XD)

Katara had shown feelings of regret, revenge, desires to kill others, among other feelings. Yet she is often seen as perfect and with no problems whatsoever. This somewhat false view of her is most likely due to popularity than anything else. Had Azula been as popular as Katara, then you would not be calling Azula a sociopath, Zulo. Katara had clearly shown very cruel and despicable feelings towards others and her obsession with killing the murderer of her mother is not sociopathy?? Yeah right. XD

Zuko was misguided, so his ENVIORNMENT, including the tireless efforts of his uncle, had lead him towards the right path. Azula lacked such a guide, such moral guidance, only to have Ozai to look up too. And Ozai is not necessarily what you would call a "role model"

Throwing rocks at ducks??? Please, don't exagerate. I see little kids do much worse all the time where I live. One time, I saw these two 9 year olds tying some fire works to a cats legs, and they lit the fireworks up, and the cat went up in the air with them, and the cat died a brutal death. THEY ARE SOCIOPATHS, NOT Azula. What she did was quite innocent compared to that.

So clearly Zulo, you make a worthy argument, but was not good enough to disprove that Azula has empathy and real emotion.
