There’s no evidence he thought of her as anything special. “I told you she would never consciously betray the rebellion” is a fairly neutral take, not overtly showing fondness or disdain.
Him having a “vendetta” against her, as you say, would not justify him sabotaging the attack on Hoth, which is the theory I was replying to.
I could have sworn there was some bit somewhere about Vader getting pissed at someone else hunting Leia because she’s his prey. But maybe that’s no longer canon, or never was, or is a Mandela effect candidate, or is a product of my own imagination – I can’t find it again, in any case.
Anakin wasn’t ever known for being level-headed and strategic, even before he gave himself over to his hate and anger. It’s plausible that he would sabotage an attack if his emotions got in the way. But like I said, the premise of my argument was a vendetta I can no longer find any evidence for, so my case is void.
