Why does Sophocles' Antigone oppose her Uncle Creon?
Because she thought it was unfair and arbitrary to blame one brother and praise the other, and refuse burial to the one labeled bad. Even though Creon was trying to keep the peace and do what was best for the kingdom, since they were her brothers and there were spiritual things involved as well, she was understandably upset, and she chose to go against Creon's commands.
Why does the chorus leader fear telling Creon about Polyneices' burial in 'Antigone'?
The chorus leader is not the person who fears telling Creon about Polyneices' burial in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, it is the Sentry and his colleagues who fear informing Theban King Creon of the illegal burial of Polyneices. The guards do not know who the violator is and are afraid that they will be blamed. They draw lots, and it is the Sentry's misfortune to speak of two violations of Creon's non-burial edict regarding the disloyal dead.

What enrages Creon when the chorus asks why the gods buried Polyneices?
Theban King Creon becomes enraged at the thought of the gods having a role in the burial of his nephew Polyneices. That burial actually is legal in terms of the will of the gods and god given Theban traditions. But it's illegal in terms of the decree that Creon previously issues against burial of the traitorous Theban dead. So Creon doesn't want to admit that the gods are holding to their traditional stance of proper below ground burial and funerary rites for all Thebans be they loyal or treacherous. Such an admission points to the illegality of his law and the disrespect of that law to the gods.

But by the end of the play, Creon backs down because the chorus leader takes a stand and advises that Polyneices' body be buried and that Princess Antigone be released from her live burial for trying to bury her brother.
