Scout couldn't believe her Aunt was really her father's sister...... she definitely thought more of her dad. Scout found her aunt to be cold and unfeeling.

 

"Aunt Alexandra was Atticus’s sister, but when Jem told me about changelings and siblings, I decided that she had been swapped at birth, that my grandparents had perhaps received a Crawford instead of a Finch. Had I ever harbored the mystical notions about mountains that seem to obsess lawyers and judges, Aunt Alexandra would have been analogous to Mount Everest: throughout my early life, she was cold and there."

Aunt Alexandra wanted to influence Scout in the arts of ladylike behavior.

 

Aunt Alexandra was fanatical on the subject of my attire. I could not possibly hope to be a lady if I wore breeches; when I said I could do nothing in a dress, she said I wasn’t supposed to be doing things that required pants.

Scout saw her aunt as somewhat of a busy-body.

 

"Aunt Alexandra was a back-porch listener."

Scout always felt that she and her aunt were at odds. I believe Aunt Alexandra loved her and was concerned about them all. She just wasn't very good at showing that her intentions came from love.....
