What side of Dally do we see in chapter 6?

In chapter 6 of S.E. Hinton's novel The Outsiders, we see a different side of Dallas Winston, who is nicknamed Dally.
Prior to this chapter, we see Dally as the toughest member of the gang. He has a police record and is streetwise. He knows exactly what to do when Johnny and Ponyboy come to him scared after Bob's murder. Dally also shows his arrogance at the drive-in when he interacts with Cherry Valance.
In chapter 6, we see a more tender side of Dally. He shows his care and concern for his friends, particularly Johnny. When Johnny announces that he's planning to turn himself in, Dally respects the decision instead of just shutting him down or telling him it's a stupid idea. He says "You sure you want to go back? Us greasers get it worse than anyone else."
He also gets angry at Johnny, but out of protective concern for his friend. Johnny wants to know if his parents have asked about him. Throughout the book, we've seen the neglect and abuse Johnny's parents have shown him, so Dally's anger is because Johnny still cares about his parents. Dally thinks he should just write his parents off and realize that the gang is his family now. Dally further explains his reason for getting angry in the quote below:

"Johnny," Dally said in a a pleading, high voice, using a tone I had never heard from him before, "Johnny, I ain't mad at you. I just don't want you to get hurt. You don't know what a few months in jail can do to you. Oh, blast it, Johnny"—he pushed his white-blond hair back out of his eyes—"you get hardened in jail. I don't want that to happen to you. Like it happened to me . . ."

This is the first time readers see Johnny pleading with anyone, for any reason. He is showing his love for Johnny, too, because he wants to explain that he isn't mad at him. Also, much like a father figure, he doesn't want Johnny to go to jail because he wants something better for his friend than the life he's experienced.
