I didn't think he was really a dick to Temeraire at first but more that he just had no idea how to treat a dragon properly. He assumed they'd be like a horse - not stupid, but not as smart as a person, requiring a certain amount of maintenance, and existing for its labor. He had no idea what he was really in for!

I think maybe Granby was just immature. That's honestly how it read to me. Maybe he was good friends with...what was his name? The guy who tried to take over Temeraire's harness? and just took the "slight" against his bro too personally.

You raise a good point about Celeritas, but I think he really felt like his hands (forefeet? talons?) were tied. It would have been a huge overstep of his authority to remove a captain already in harness. I see that as more of a problem with the system than with Celeritas. Rankin could have made a really big fuss and caused all kinds of problems. I get the very strong sense that de-harnessing a handler was simply not done; completely unheard of. Celeritas chose to reject him, but Levitas didn't. In fact now that I write that, maybe it was an issue of Levitas' agency? Levitas never once tried to find a better captain. He truly loved Rankin and just wanted his affection returned. That's what made his story and his end so tragic. (Man, I loved Laurence in that scene though...)

Also, Celeritas, like a human character, is not without flaws. I think he deeply regretted not making more of an effort towards putting Rankin out of harness completely when he rejected him. But it was kind of a "the damage has been done" situation.

Now that Laurence has interfered with his ability to find a new dragon, I hope he never gets in a harness again.
