I 100% know Michael's not innocent but Dan is working on a hunch/feeling so there is a chance he's wrong which should moderate his behaviour. For example, I suspect Sallie is Satan incarnate and that a hot poker in her eye socket would only irritate her as she would only be vulnerable to Holy Water. However, I am not certain of this, and thus, in case I am wrong I would never actually take to her with a red-hot poker. I moderate my behaviour in case I actually cause harm, Dan does not, as being perceived as a clever bugger and being the centre of attention are more important to him.
I could also be wrong about his motivation, as his history with the police could have left him with quite a common sense of entitlement to other people's private information, irrespective of their desire to share this or not. This is seen as he takes people to an environment he feels he can be dominant in - the treehouse - in which he proceeds with his 1:1 interrogations. Or am I paranoid at 1am?
