Yes, I think so - as much as someone like him is able.
I mean, his love for Antonin is true and unshakable and the sort of parental bond I've never known. I don't know if someone like Crouch has room for loving more than one person that way. Unconditional is what it's called, I suppose. And in any case I'm not sure he could love a woman like that.
He's truly fascinated by Daphs. But, it's not maybe the way a normal person would be fascinated by a lover. There's some possessiveness to it, and also an awful lot of lust. All those little floaty pieces on her gown, the ones meant to look a bit like leaves? He kept thinking about the specific parts of her body they were touching, and how he would later be sure to touch every single spot. He prizes her. That's what it is. But there's warmth to it, too.
He's going to speak to Voldemort about her, that I saw clearly. You can be sure that means he's going to see if Voldemort will let him move forward with an engagement.
As to what Daphne feels, I probably already said too much to someone else. That's her private business, and it doesn't seem to be hurting any of us.
