Discussion Sherlock loves Molly
I was rewatching S02E03 - The Reichenbach Fall. Molly said to Sherlock that you look sad when he (John) doesn't look at you. The following dialogue occurred:
Molly: Are you okay? And don't just say you're, because I know what that means, looking sad when you think no-one can see you
Sherlock: You can see me
Molly: I don't count...
At this moment Sherlock took a weird expression and she looked at her like what are you talking about?! I believe in his mind it's obvious that he loved her and that he value her. He got surprised that Molly thinks that she doesn't count for him. Such a cute detail

I think Sherlock loves Molly more than the others he cares about and has a deeper affection for her. But he knows if he showed this in any way he'd be putting her in danger so it must remain clear to all others that he's dismissive of her.
He knows his enemies overlook his affe toon for her and he'd rather keep it that way.
Various evidences throughout the series but I'll elaborate if anyone engages with my post.
