Yes, WarpGirl, I totally noticed how he insulted his mama in E2:
From this I glean that
1) He insults his mother ("You know nothing about being human" "Maybe you'd be more concerned if Vulcan were in danger"). At the same time he actually wants/feels he needs his mother's advice because you see he keeps consulting her.
2) T'Pol is used to this sort of thing from him. You can tell because she reacts calmly.
3) For some reason Lorian runs the show on Enterprise, not T'Pol, even though Lorian is younger. Lorian must have talents that have earned him this position.
4) He identifies as Human (at least as much as he identifies as Vulcan.)
5) He doesn't mind breaking the rules if he thinks he's right.
I kept all those qualities in my Lorian. In fact a big plot twist in Brainstorm happens right after the teenage Lorian insults his father (basically by implying that Trip is wimpy in the way that he defers to Archer).
LORIAN: You shouldn't have spoken to Archer.
Old T'POL: He had a right to know the risks. Why didn't you tell him?
LORIAN: If they use that corridor their mission will fail. Earth will be destroyed.
Old T'POL: You're allowing your human side to get the better of you.
LORIAN: You know nothing about being human.
Old T'POL: I know that for them guilt can be a powerful motivator. Don't let it cloud your judgment.
LORIAN: Maybe you'd be a little more concerned if Vulcan was in danger, and not Earth.
