Lord Henry always kind of controlled Dorian. He wanted to be to Dorian what Dorian was to Basil. Dorian probably wasn't even aware of how highly he held Henry, and never quite perceived of the impact of Henry's words on him. Dorian thought of him as a friend, but in reality, he was like his puppy.

Henry to Basil.
First he doesn't want to believe it, saying Sybil is below Dorian's rank. When Dorian arrives, he takes offense Dorian informed Henry first. Finally, he hopes Dorian will be happy.
Basil wants Lord Henry to leave, but Dorian insist that Basil makes Lord Henry stay.
Dorian has the innocence of ignorance, and is easily impressible. Basil has mature, stable morals, which resist even the almighty charms of Henry. Henry compared their looks: Basil's "rugged strong face and coal-black hair" and Dorian, who looks like he was "made of ivory and rose petals".

Dorian kills basil because basil is the creator of dorians portrait which in turn allows dorian to live a life of evil but not reap the consequences of it physically. so when dorian sees basil before he goes to london, he is reminded of the all the mental pain he has put himself through.
Because he was completely obsessed with himself and his youthful beauty and because Dorian made a Faustian bargain, meaning that the painting would age and show the signs of corruption while he would not and Dorian didnt want others to see the work.
