Yes. That's important to me: that we see why Teyla cares about him. (Loves, cares, is friends with, whatever people want to term it.)
The examples you've pointed out are very interesting - I didn't pick up on them. The problem is that we don't have any cultural referents for the Athosians and their family lives - a lot of it is inferred based on what dribs and drabs we see and hear.
So maybe a child belongs to its mother, unless the father is given explicit care of it (as probably happened with Jinto and Halling)? Teyla does ID herself as "Teyla, daughter of Tegan" when she says her father's name is Torran.
