Now to Amelia. First let me say THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION, I don't expect to convince anyone or for anyone to share it. I kind of see why Sam gravitates toward Amelia. In season one and in this season, Dean has been on Sam's case for dropping his responsibility to the world by not hunting. When Sam first met Amelia she got on his case for not taking responsibility for the dog. Dean consistently calls Sam a freak. Amelia starts by calling Sam creepy. Dean dismisses Sam's ambitions for a normal life. Amelia dismisses Sam for not having a normal life. Dean dings Sam for the way he eats. Amelia dings Sam for the clothes he wears. John made Sam feel that he was inadequate because he didn't live up to what John wanted him to be. Amelia is acting like Sam is inadequate because he is not what she expects from a normal person. Dean is damaged because he has lost so many people he loved. Amelia is damaged because she has lost an unnamed person. All of the less than positive things I said about Dean are mitigated by the fact that Dean does love Sam and they have years of bonding. That doesn't change the fact that Sam seems to have become involved with a woman who acts a lot like Dean in many respects. Many people repeat the same familial patterns over and over. Amelia is a bit like Dean without the redeeming qualities of love so far, but I can understand that Sam may feel comfortable with a bossy person who doesn't think he quite measures up.

Even if the idea of Amelia being like Dean makes me cringe, I do see what you mean by that.
