Unfortunately, there's not a whole heck of a lot that you can do. Since he's married to your mother, it is technically his house. His house, his rules, just like with your mother, and just like with any parents. You can't change other people: the only person you can change is yourself.

It sounds to me like there's a mutual lack of respect here. If he asks you to turn your music down, you should turn it down or put in headphones. To tell him no is to push his buttons and dare him to do something, so he's gonna do something. If you're going to disrespect him by not fulfilling a request, he's going to disrespect you by invading your privacy. Just do what he says, and he'll leave you be.

As for making fun of you when you're mad, that is a fairly standard way for men to deal with these things. Some people shout, some people throw things, some people use humour to defuse the situation. My fiance does this, and it drives me up the wall. To deal with it, I just escape him when I'm really angry. I let him know why I'm walking away, and that we'll talk later when I'm more calm. Once I'm less irritable, we talk it out.

Act like a mature, responsible adult and he'll treat you like one :)
