Tara's not there. Her essence is so lost that Willow struggles to find a trace of it. Dawn on the other hand is all too there, literally and metaphorically larger than life. For once she has an arc that's about her and how *she* relates to others not how they relate to her. She's been the dragon not the damsel in her relationship with Kenny and it hurts to find that out about yourself. It changes how you see yourself.
Having said that Buffy has tried to help but we get some perspective on her perspective in her S1 dream when she reaches out to Dawn only to be told she must be on drugs. She and Dawn have always had a love that only speaks its name in times of world-ending crisis. It's a sibling thing (as I remember it).
