Bumi on the other hand? He's a non-bender. Even though he's a CrazyAwesome comic relief character, you can tell the kind of struggle he's had to go through-- he's also the oldest of the three siblings. Imagine being the non-bending son of the best healer in the world and one of the last Southern waterbenders, and the freaking Avatar who is the LastOfHisKind. ''Ouch.''

Being Aang's s son and the Airbending master destined to teach the Avatar, Tenzin knows about the Avatar State and all it implies: it triggers during moments when the Avatar is under great distress or danger. As such, when Korra activates the Avatar State, Tenzin will be greatly saddened, since he will feel that he has failed as Korra's protector, maybe inducing a HeroicBSOD. However, this will be followed eventually with Tenzin having a BigDamnHeroes moment that'll be his CrowningMomentOfAwesome.

Addition of a WMG

Added DiffLines:

[[WMG: Aang began favoring Tenzin because of paranoia caused by a close friendship between Zuko and Katara.]]
To be clear: this theory is not that Zuko fathered Bumi or Kya, rather, it's that deep-down, Aang FEARED he did. From what we've seen, neither Bumi nor Kya hold any great resemblance to the adult Aang; their hair is deep brown, not black, their skin is darker, and their eyes are both blue. Combined with the fact that neither were Airbenders, and Aang developed a subconscious fear that Zuko and Katara had slept together. It was only when Tenzin came along, bearing black hair, pale skin, grey eyes, and grey eyes like Aang, he began to favor the child, the airbending only caused Aang to double down, leading to the "Great Vacations" Tenzin remembers.

to:

** Not necessarily. Obviously bending is somewhat genetic, and there's no reason to assume that airbenders only, ever, had children with other airbenders. There are numerous real-life examples of genes laying dormant for [[http://www.cbsnews.com/news/white-baby-shocks-black-parents-medically-possible/ multiple]] [[http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/ampp3d/how-white-baby-can-born-4145688 generations]]. Or of genes that are relatively common, but only expressed under highly specific circumstances. And it is also possible in real life for genes that are not active at birth to be [[http://www.livescience.com/6498-breast-milk-dna-good.html activated afterwards]], or at least altered to some extent. It is plausible for an "airbender gene" to exist, but be unexpressed, in a fairly large number of people without assuming that Aang cheated. In fact, if this WMG were correct, the percentage of people with the airbender gene would be significantly higher than the number of people in whom it was activated by Harmonic Convergence.

* Actually, we do see an Air Nomad nun in one of Aang's flashbacks. It's the one where Aang first meets Appa. This trooper agrees with the rest of your WMG though. Air Nomad culture has certainly change, and will continue to change as time goes on.

While his speech in Venom of the Red Lotus is well meaning, he doesn't realizing how he's undercutting Korra, basically saying "You're not needed, the Air Nomads got this." Given Korra's identity as the Avatar has been her defining trait, and her worst fears are that she's going to screw up being the Avatar, seeing the world not needing her is crushing.

* Impossible. [[spoiler:Opal's parents (Suyin and Baatar), grandparents (Toph and whoever she ended up with) and great-grandparents (Lao and Poppy) were either earthbenders or non-benders.
