"Tu" is informal and fairly affectionate; no good when you're angry! But I'd never use "Usted" when I'm cross with family and/or close friends though!

Although a chap from Gibraltar I used to work with was married to una española and her mother lived with them in Britain right from when they first married, yet he always addressed his mother-in-law as 'usted'! I couldn't understand it yet my wife tells me it used to be quite common in Andalucía.
