What is wrong with that child?
My problem with this line isn't that Ursa says it at all, or that she's concerned about Azula, but rather HOW she says it.
Notice, that Ursa doesn't even say " What is wrong with Azula, or THIS child", but " What is wrong with THAT child", instead.
I see this as an intentional hint left by the show's creators. It may be a small hint, but it's a hint nonetheless.
"The word 'this' is used to point to a singular person or object that is close to you. On the other hand, 'that' is used to point to a singular person or an object which is farther away from you."
It seems to me that calling your child "that child" is an expression of distance. It's almost as if Azula called her mother "that woman".
We have no evidence that Ursa didn't love Azula at all, but we also cannot say that Azula and Ursa had the same close relationship that Ursa had with Zuko.

Just noticed that during this (gorgeous) scene Louis and Lestat have their hands locked in a prayer/supplication position and Louis' eyes are raised to the heavens. Very reminiscent of images of religious ecstasy and extremely fitting for the guilt-ridden catholic boy that he is.

The Mirror Scene
Many different metas have been written about this scene, but I want to draw your attention to one specific detail.
This is an amazing art, but what caught my attention is Ursa placing hands on Azula's shoulders.
What's interesting, is that in the actual canon the hallucination of Ursa doesn't try to touch Azula, or hug her or give her any physical affection at all.
She's not even standing very close to Azula. Ursa is just standing there with her hands in her sleeves, which wasn't far from reality, judging by the family portrait.
Mirror scene can be interpreted in different ways, but it's incredibly curious to me that physical affection is not what Azula actually hallucinates in this scene.

This book might as well be called So Your Deadbeat Vampire Dad Abandoned You: What Now?
Previous / Next
Helena, thinking: Well, if it’s just going to sit there, I might as well read the thing…
Introduction: Vampirism is no easy existence and will certainly not be long endured by the weak-willed, faint of heart, or squeamish. Fledglings who lack the knowledge or means to satisfy their all-consuming thirst and guard against their newfound weaknesses are far less likely to survive the initial stages of transformation, in which the craving for blood threatens to override all capacity for self-control. If they find themselves lucky enough to be under the tutelage of an intelligent and attentive sire, young vampires can not only mature but thrive for many centuries in their strange new forms. However, the presence of such a devoted mentor is not always guaranteed. Therefore, this book aims to serve as an instructional guide to attending to one’s needs and harnessing one’s abilities for those newly turned vampires who find themselves without a teacher.
Helena, thinking: Hmm, it's almost a little bit too on the nose.
Chapter 1: Dark Form Mastery
Helena, thinking: God, I feel ridiculous. Did it even work? It’d be nice if I could see my reflection right now.
Chapter 2: Bat Manifestation and Flight
Helena, thinking: Here goes nothing, I guess.
OW! OOF!
That’s going to take some practice.

Hang on I just noticed something
So on their gis, it should be folded left over right. Only the dead have it right over left.
And who do we see are the only two who have it wrong?
The only two characters who, (up until this point) have technically died!
