"Ai Yori Aoshi would also qualify [as harem] (as the male lead has some level of attachment to both Aoi and Tina)."

I disagree...he has an attachment to Tina, but I don't see any hint of it being romantic. He just likes Tina like any of his other close friends at the house. I've been following the manga for a while now and haven't seen anything to indicate that his feelings were for anybody but Aoi.

Anyway, I don't think AMG is harem simple by the fact that it is about two people and their love for each other. In my opinion, if you removed Urd or Skuld from the series, then you would still have the same basic storyline. If the two of them were gone, I don't see how anybody could call it harem anymore. Therefore, I don't see how it is harem since the only somewhat harem aspect (Kei living with multiple women) doesn't greatly affect the general plot.
