OP of amulet rant- Most pre-teens have snotty moments, if not years, and I'm sure Sam was no exception. He's not a saint now, and he wasn't one when he was a kid. But if it makes you feel better, I retract the 'snotty' comment. The rest still stands. When you take a gift meant for one person and give it to another because you're mad at them, it's spiteful. Was it understandable given what Sam was going through at the time? Sure. Doesn't negate everything I ranted.

The comment was in no way meant to be Sam-bashing, it's amulet bashing.
