As it is, though, they're separate and distinct and each is amazing.
This is a good point, because I have a definite Holmes-and-Watson-in-my-head for the BBC radio Holmes and Watson, even separate from the books, but closer to the books than any other medium.
So is she acting, trying to play to their sympathy? Or does she really have a strain of flutteriness in her nature?
This is fascinating (although I do like the Watson's sex appeal explanation XD). She does seem like this thing with her father really affects her, since she breaks down once she gets into the cab with Watson (though she holds it together while they're in public). I tend to think (with much less thinking about this than you've done) that her father's death is a trigger for her, but she's not easily upset by other things. The idea that she's acting is really interesting too, though. Hmm.
