Oddly enough, I put Inara in the other camp. She has the poise of an older woman. (And I think she's older than she looks, too.) As for her being crew, she always deliberately held herself a little bit apart from them.
Simon, for all his education, isn't very old. He's certainly far too young to be carrying the burdens he does. I think that once he realises that it's not just him looking out for Li'l Crazyboots, he might be able to relax and try and form some kind of relationship with Kaylee.
Jayne and River work well in a sibling-like context. She's used to bullying a big brother, and I suspect he's used to bratty little siblings. Oddly enough, though, I think Mal was an 'only', raised in a communal atmosphere, but conscious of being the boss' son.

Speaking on the realtionship between Simon and Jayne, I look at Jayne as the older jockish brother innocently picking on the younger brother. That's just my opinion, of course. ;D

Hmm. For family, here's the way I can see it happening (spiritually, understand, not necessarily by physical age or status)-
Book is the grandpa (despite him never marrying)
Inara- the older aunt (kinda motherly, but not enough to be a mother, and not old enough to be a grandma but not young enough to be one of the siblings- older than the 'parents')
Mal- The father figure (or eldest sibling)
Kaylee- Littler sis (only one younger being River)
Jayne- either eldest or next eldest male sibling (whether you take Mal as being the father or eldest sibling)
Zoe- Either as a mother or eldest female sibling (Mal is older, Jayne is younger)
Simon- Cousin, same age as Kaylee
River- cousin, little sis to Simon, younger than everyone

Is it just me that scenes where Simon calls River 'meimei' I just want to break down and drown from my own tears. That scene is just so tender and very endearing to me.

I, like everybody else in the Verse, also love the scene where Mal figures out Jayne had turned the Tams in to the Feds. I think that scene said more about Jayne then the entire episode of Jayestown.
Well, Jayne isn't to be trusted but he isn't one dimensional. He has redeeming qualities and isn't a thoroughly bad man. We know little about his backstory, what brought him to this life.
Simon is definately in his element in Ariel. He does have inner strength, courage and absolute loyalty to his sister, even to death. I still can't relate to his background. And he's about as much fun as a bowl of oatmeal. haha ...and he is totally wrong for Kaylee. X)
