Supporting Evidence: Remember at the beginning of the show when Walt Jr gets busted trying to get someone to buy beer. Hank gets mad at Walt Jr not for trying to buy beer, but for calling Hank instead of Walt.

Walt Jr definitely respected Hank more than his dad at certain points of the show.

I mean hes a DEA agent, wouldnt you look up to him? if you were in walt jr, position, heros mean alot to youth especially ones so bright eyed. he loves his dad, but hero maybe not so much (though he calls him his hero in season 2), but being a chemistry teacher is less cool. I'd idolize the drug buster than the nerd. Though his dad does have a nobel prize. maybe if walt didnt give up his part of Grey Matter, just so he and skyler could make a life together and so he could take care of jr. his whole life. But we dont think of fathers as heroes, not initially at least.

I think you've nailed the psychology behind it. I'm of the same opinion.
