Kataang is a lot like parental love.

Not to say that they can't have normal interaction, because they can and they do. But there are times when she really acts like his mom. She disciplines him when he's misbehaving, she is very protective and nurturing towards him, and she coddles him a lot. It's a canon fact that she mothers him at times, as seen in the Runaway.

And frankly? I don't care if she mothers everyone. Because her attitude towards Zuko (her potential romantic partner) has never been motherly. And yeah, Katara mothers the whole gaang. But that is so irrelevant, because the gaang includes Aang. Yeah, she does mother them all. But she is never shown in a romantic light with Toph and Sokka, so her mothering them isn't a problem. Her mothering Aang is a little weird because he has fantasies about kissing her. But Katara? always motherly, and very awkward about being romantic with him.
