@N-train -

It's simple: Tirion Fordring was presented as a neutral character from Day One of Vanilla. He's just like the Wildhammer dwarves were prior to Cataclysm: not a member of the Alliance. "Human" =/= "Alliance", and the former Alliance of Lordaeron, of which Tirion *was* a part, is *not* the same as the current Alliance. Tirion started out in WoW offering quests in EPL that could be done by both Alliance and Horde players, and his neutrality continued into the founding of the Argent Crusade.

Thrall, on the other hand, *created the entire Horde faction* and was its supreme leader for many years.

It boils down to one guy who has always been neutral for the life of WoW, and one guy who was firmly of one faction and is now trying to be made "neutral".

Race does not automatically equal faction, except in the case of player characters.
