I've always felt that the only reason why didnt line up like a good little beta has less to do with his personality and more to do with the randomness of the situation and the fact the first two werewolves in his life were dicks.

The only special thing about Scott is that he fell in love with Alison before he was fully on boared with being a werewolf change that and i think either Derek or Peter could have got him to submit Actually, and a lot of us thought S1 Scott was annoying for this reason, was that he didn't even want to work with Derek (at the time not an Alpha), not because of anything wrong with Derek's character (other than general surliness), but because he didn't want to do anything to complicate him dating the local werewolf hunters' daughter! I mean really, he got caught in a snare trap. Chris actually shoved a gun in his face! Scott is best friends with the Sheriff's son! He could have just gone to the Sheriff and told him about the violent threats the Argent's were making towards him, saying it was because they didn't like him seeing Allison. What were the Argent's going to say in their own defense, that they were justified because Scott was a werewolf? Back in S1 the Sheriff would not have been buying that kind of an explanation!

So yeah, Allison was a major factor in all of this. Scott was still holding out hope, right until Derek killed Peter, that he could be cured of his lycanthropy. Although I wonder if he really would have been happy going back to being an asthmatic back-bencher on the lacrosse team? Back then Lydia would have been telling Allison, hourly, that she was dating beneath herself.
