I wonder when someone would bluntly point out that Kodaka's Self-effacing nature is one day going to look like over-righteous humility.

Kodaka's kind side is also his biggest flaw. He is always giving but he reject to receive anything. He had to take care of his sister his whole life. He had to take responsibility in a form that is just too much for a kid and that formed his personality. Outside his home he is convicted to a be delinquent while at home he always receives affection and smiles from his sister if he cook for her and he does everything to make her happy. So his whole life is just characterized by that he only can achieve happiness if he take care of/help others. He is not selfish in any way. He tries to make everyone happy and that is his main problem.
If he chooses a girlfriend from the group it is important for him that no one has a problem with it (so he also needs Yozora's approval).

I wonder why Sena's interactions with Kodaka seems the most natural and spontaneous out of the entire cast

Because there is good chemistry between them and they complement each other very well.
Kodaka accepted Sena right from the very beginning. She never had to do anything special to get close to him, just being herself. While the other girls are quiet confused and are always trying to find out how to approach him, Sena doesn't even have to care about that. She also has much luck - like in the King Game where they were about to kiss (Kodakas willingness to kiss her without any resistance speaks for itself). And also their shopping date where Sena was alone with him was just pure luck.
If Sena approaches someone, she comes very close to you and looks straight into your face and in your eyes (look at Episode 3 right before the swimming date). That is Sena's special ability to easily gain trust from others and that worked flawlessly on Kodaka. Her father Pegasus is also like this (seeks closeness). Sena's and Kodaka's fathers are best friends, and so they inherited some of their abilities so it seems just natural that there is a good chemistry and no much barriers between them. If Kodaka talks to Sena she always gives him her full attention - as long as Kobato is not around (look at the chapter "Born princess"). Sena is able to adapt towards Kodaka because he let her come closer to him. At the shopping date he answered all her questions about Kobato and then he redirected the topic and started to talk more about himself. He really seems to be interested in her and he wants her to give him more attention - instead of always thinking about Kobato.
For a loner to accept another person there are much obstacles to take because there is always the question "Can I trust her?" in his mind. Kodaka does not accept other people so easily (he is friendly, but also distant). He does not accept Rika's approaches as long she does not change her behaviour (just changing her outfit doesn't help) and starts to adapt towards him. Rika however does not want to change her behaviour for him because she is proud of it and so they don't fit as a possible couple. It can take years before a loner starts to accept a partner fully.
