I hope, I really hope, that there's going to be a setback in the near future that Kirino has to deal with by herself.

The three things that were listed above:

They were all things that Kirino could have learned from by herself. Now, maybe with the first scenario, Kyousuke did the right thing in intervening, but with the other two, chances were missed to develop Kirino's character (and thus, in my eyes at least, make her likable).

Instead, we get her relying on her brother when things get difficult (scen. 2) or worse, believing that her behaviour is the right thing to do and will get a desired result (scen. 3).

What's missing is a major complication that can't be solved by Kyousuke sacrificing himself (again).
