Psyche

I get that the Academy wasn't a good influence on Azula, and it only magnified the harmful tendencies she had already acquired from elsewhere, but those factors in Azula's development have been acknowledged time and again. Meanwhile, Ursa still hasn't done anything with her realization in the Search that she didn't love Azula enough.

That's what I want to see more of. Flashbacks in Ursa's POV, Ursa processing memories of times when she had tried to reach out to Azula and realizing that it hadn't been enough, or hadn't been in the way Azula had needed. Or even memories of times when she and Azula had gotten along relatively well before things went sour.

Because we already know a dozen answers to: "How could Azula's environment/other influential figures have been changed so that she had a healthy childhood?" but we don't know Ursa's answer to "What could I have done, but didn't?"

Also, even in her Academy age, Azula wasn't a lost cause. Azula in the Spirit Temple implies that she still very much wanted Ursa in her life, to the point of feeling abandoned by her when she left, and so would likely have been receptive to Ursa's counter-teachings of unconditional love and protection.
