>I hope I don't disappoint you further.
No, you are great at teaching us English and you are very enthusiastic :up: :up: :up:

So we could say:
1. We are disappointed at something.
2. We are disappointed with/in someone/some country.
3. We are disappointed in something.
Am I right?

The way I see it is:
disappointed in you (inside: your character)
disappointed with you (outside: your actions)
disappointed at you (point in space: your position) *odd

Another possibility is "disappointed about".
Everyone was very disappointed about the baseball team's loss. It didn't bother me. I'm completely indifferent to it.
indifferent - not interested in something - If you are indifferent to something, it is of no importance to you.
The preposition "to" usually follows the adjective "indifferent".
indifferent to
to be indifferent to

You can also have 'disappointed by':
He was very disappointed by the team's performance.
