The world is big enough for all of us to share. Humans might be an inevitably-ending section on the evolutionary timeline, and they might react badly to seeing that end coming into view -- but they're still (for lack of a better word) people. Neighbors, friends, family, strangers, just the same as mutants are to them.
Which is to say that Charles doesn't hold Jesse's lack of mutation against him in the least, and really rather appreciates the ways that Jesse has adapted to camp and all of the strange things that it throws at you. The fact that Jesse just kinda rolled with the telepath thing was major points in his favor. Charles also has picked up enough about Jesse to get the sense that he's grown as a person. And he could continue to grow! He just needs some encouragement. And Charles does so love giving encouragement.
