The relationship between Amir and Hasson is complicated。
It is obviously that Hassan regards Amir as a good friend definitely,never tell lie to Amir, sacrifices himself for Amir.In kite tournament, he tells the dream to Amir to cheer him up to face to the nervous, he is rather pure and trusts Amir all the time ,doing everthing for Amir.It comes from the instinct as a friend more than the conscious of servant.
But let think abou Amir's inner opinion, does he treat Hassan as a friend more than a master?No,he always treat curtly,telling lies, never think about Hassan's feeling.He is selfish to Hassan, he even feels envy when his father choice gift for Hassan,he wish his father wouldn't do that,he doesn't want to share any thing with Hassan.Because Hassan's low statues,his ignorant.In the kite tournament,he had Hassan hold the string and sucked the blood dry, blotted his finger against his jeans, how he did it if he treat Hassan as a really good friend? when he can't find Hassan and asked a old merchant about Hassan，the merchant asked what is Hassan to him？Amir ‘s answer surprised me ，why him answered “He's our servant’s son”rather than“He's my froend”？Maybe it is a shame for him to admit Hassan is his firend，because Hassan is a Hazara，he is only his srevant‘s son ，he is his servant，he has no qualication to be his friend.
As the story developed,when he found Hassan was being bullied by Assef，he choice to pretect himself ，pretend not to notice and run away，why he does it if he really about Hassan？Obviously，he treat Hassan as a servant more than a friend.

I agree Amir's ability is limited to show the friend ship more than mastership. But I think they are more like friend. Because there are nothing happend udermastership and they're playing just like friend. Don't be too hard to a kid, I think. Anyway the book is write for Hassan.
