The "Walt is family" part is much more key than people seem to realize. Walt started dealing meth because he wanted to protect his family. Hank has been his opposite number for five seasons. Now Hank has the same question, and we're left with a storyline showing whether *his* best intentions will work out the same way.

Bingo. I think Hank is a great cop, and Walt was in his blind spot because he loves the guy. Just watch their interaction in the pilot episode—you get all sorts of information about their relationship from the birthday party.
