Compare that to Rin's feelings for him stemming from her seeing his indomitable determination to chase the impossible something which she could not do but was happy that a person like that existed and she never forgot him. It's the same with sakura no matter how much she wanted him to fail and no matter how much hate she had for him he would not give up and that hate changed. 4hirou's supposed feelings don't count in comparison. Had the Holy Grail War not happened he more than likely would not have made a
move on either of them as he's not the type of person to act purely on physical attration hence the the huge amount of Deus sex machinema in FSN even if he did he wouldn't want to risk them involved in the dangerous life he wants to pursue nor does he believe he has the right to be happy
I think Shirou at the begining of FSN is a blank page. So when he fell in love with Saber it's not that she kicked Sakura and Rin out of the running, they we're never in the running.

No, not really. Whilst you're right about Shirou's attraction to Rin, Shirou has both physical attraction
and an emotional attachment to Sakura. If you look at what happens in HF, Shirou never really falls in love with Sakura, he just realises that he is
already in love with her.
Whilst Shirou would never have asked Sakura out without the events of HF, that's only because he's in denial over her feelings and she will most definitely not
push it, because she thinks doing so will harm him. However, the feelings are most definitely
there, it's just a question of whether some event happens to make him
act on them, or whether he'll always think of her as a sister.
