While I don't necessarily agree with it (it's also possible to play it with autistic sensitivities and a fear of anything fast-moving and ill-regulated like mice, cats, the wrong sort of magic etc) it's an interesting angle to take.

Canon gives us almost nothing to work on apart from the supposition that someone as fearful and well-defended as Norrell can't have had a perfect childhood. Jonathan Strange had one very bad social experience, of his father, but the kindness he was shown by other people was enough to offset that. Norrell's temperament and/or experiences went towards personal attachment being the exception rather than the rule.
