I didn't think about it until reading your post, but I think that's why I related to Zuko even more during a rewatch as an adult after getting an eye injury in highschool.

TV/Movie rule: Only bad guys can have ugly features/disfigurements. Good guys can have scars, but only the cool kind. People might get confused if an ugly person was supposed to be a good guy.
It often goes the other way too. If you see an otherwise attractive character with an unsightly mole or other blemish, they're probably a bad guy and will turn on the good guy.
And they do some dramatic reveal as if the scar was more scary and serious than it actually looks like lol.
