I don't think Walt has paternal instinct towards Jesse even though Jesse might view Walt as a bit of a father figure. Walt knows Jesse is loyal to him but more importantly, he views Jesse as someone who will never surpass him or even be his equal.
Walt's descent into evil was never about the money. Sure, he went into cooking meth for the money but he stayed in it because he liked feeling superior to others which was something lacking in his pre-cancer life. Each time he descends further into evil he gets more and more powerful and he gets off on being the man. That's why he wanted Gale replaced by Jesse the first time - Gale might have become his equal in the lab. That's why he doesn't get along with Mike - because Mike views him as weak and Walt knows it.

Even the whole Brock thing can be looked at as necessary tough love. Gus showed them that people, even in his inner circle, were disposable if they messed up even a little... and Jesse is bound to mess up with his addiction problems and poor decision making abilities. Gus wanted him gone from the start and was clearly going to just use him for the time being. Poisoning Brock was a terrible thing, but not a betrayal in the bigger picture.

Nah, Brock was just a pawn so that he could get Jesse back on his side since he needed Jesse to save his life. He wasn't thinking Gus is eventually going to kill Jesse so I bet do this so that doesn't happen. He was thinking Gus is going to kill me so how do I kill Gus before he can do that.
