Don't worry - I shall save you from the non-co-dependent House!! *Beats the notion off with a stick*
Seriously, though. I don't think it's possible to make him stop depending on Wilson for moral/ethical/emotional support/guidance/insight without completely mutilating House's character. And however much some writers may be stretching the Huddy angle, I don't think DS would let them get away with destroying House. One of the producers even said years ago that a happy healthy and sober House all at once would mean the series is over. Which is clearly isn't. So...I'm not too concerned.
Although, people keep hinting that Wilson's character will slowly get explored in a little more depth, and I have this tiny little sense that they're trying to make House better enough that Wilson freaks out over no longer being needed by his one constant in life. And since Wilson defines his own value by how useful he is to a needy party (and since experience has taught him that when he is no longer needed/no longer makes himself needed, the person he loves will grow distant and then leave in some fashion, like the collapse of his marriages after his needy wives learned to stand on their own, and the disappearance of his brother after Wilson refused to play the part of the needed one...) I could see Wilson flipping out if he suddenly realized that House didn't *need* him anymore. Because I don't think that Wilson really understands that people would *want* to be his friend even if they got nothing tangible out of him. (Sort of like House, IMO).
Incidentally, I also think that's one of the reasons Wilson never really gripes all that much about supplying House with food all the time. Because House is getting something out of him, so it's like security, being needed even for something trivial like that.
