Something I always found interesting about shadows is that they reflected repressed emotions or experiences that were buried away with someone. I would imagine this is why many of the shadows that we encountered had such a negative reaction to humanity, because they saw other Persona users as enemies or were themselves fragments of naked hostility.
That being said, it sounds to me like your Teddie was in stark contrast to that. That somehow he expressed repressed kindness and generosity. From how you described him, he had some serious concerns about your safety... or perhaps he was simply trying to protect his metaspace and was "pushy." Regardless, he did not seem to view humans as hostile, and was even helpful on multiple occasions.
This may be an impossible question to answer, but do you think that might be the case? That he was somehow a reflection of humanity's desire to be good?
