He didn't like the way Mr. ilmer was talking to Tom RObinson in court during the cross examination.
Scout gives Dill a drink of water during Tom Robinson's trial to help soothe his nerves. Dill becomes overwhelmed by the tense environment of the courtroom and Scout's act of kindness calms him down.
Dill lives in Mississippi with his aunt during the summer. In "To Kill a Mockingbird," Scout describes Dill as coming from "Meridian, Mississippi, and was spending the summer with his aunt" (Chapter 1).
Dill was in his Aunt Rachel's backyard next door when Jem and Scout spotted him behind the fence. Out of curiosity, Jem walked right up and started asking him questions. Ever since they were friends and inseparable every summer that Dill would come to visit.
Scout and Dill discover that Dolphus Raymond is actually drinking Coca-Cola from the bottle he carries in a paper bag, not alcohol as they initially thought. He pretends to be drunk to give the town something to gossip about and to avoid judgment for his lifestyle choices.
Dill's parents give him all of the toys that he wants, in hopes that he will leave them alone. Dill is very lonely and neglected and gets passed from famly member to family member. He also has a huge imagination.
It represents that Jem is older and more mature now.
When Jem tells Atticus that Dill is at their house, Atticus says that Dill can spend the night. Atticus then goes to tell Dill's Aunt Rachel that he is at their house and will spend the night so Dill's family will not worry.
I think both Boo and Dill have unstable backgrounds in the sense that the book doesn't explain much about them and their families. Both Boo and Dill (I'm just brainstorming here) want someone to love. I think this because Boo riskes alot to connect with Jem and Scout. Dill runs away because his new family doesn't show interest in him. They give him everything you can but but what he wants is love.

Scout and Dill learn that Mr. Raymond isn't an alcoholic. He has a black wife and some half-white half-black children. He acts drunk so that he can give people an excuse on why he lives the life he does. Not because he enjoys his life but because he's always drunk and doesn't know any better. He doesn't like the racial discrimination in Maycomb either.
Among Black citizens, Atticus has become a hero. They give up their seats as a sign of respect for the children's father. It is the Reverend who has to nudge the children to stand when Atticus leaves the courtroom. They had not yet learned their father was so deeply respected in town.
This is Scout putting herself into Boo Radley's shoes. She's understanding life from his perspective and realizing that she and Jem and Dill did give something back to their neighbor. They gave him a life, a way to connect to others, even though it was from behind closed doors.
