Agree... Ryuuji never bows down to Taiga... he responds verbally every time Taiga communicates in her broken way. He just doesn't blow up -- why blowup when you're dealing with a patient who's in a lot of internal conflict? Like his mom says, she has trouble saying what she really means and she isn't handling her emotions well.

He's not thrilled with Ami either and lets her know it when she gameplays with her tools but she's also broken so he just lectures and scolds like he does with Taiga.

He's really being a mature father model in this show in many respects.

Obviously, people are going to pick up the clues they're able to or want to. Heck, that's what most of the class does - they label the characters and stop looking for anything deeper or more subtle clues.
