If Homura did romantically love her, then she just got Friend Zoned by God.

You guys do realize "Battle Pentagram" isn't canon, right? Besides it has pandering for all the pairings you could imagine, so there's something for everyone.
EDIT: The game's plot is based on a "what if" scenario. "What if Madoka in timeline 3 didn't ask Homura to save her from QB, but instead asked her to save everyone and fight WN as a team." If I remember correctly, that's the premise of this game. Of course, even taking this into account, there are a lot of things that don't make sense, but really this game is just an excuse for pandering.

Infatuation is an extravagant passion/attraction. It is almost always used in the sense of "a crush". Quote:
Storge love is Familial love. Homura and Madoka are not relatives. They're not in the same family. With Philia seeming highly doubtful, and Storge simply not fitting the facts, we're left with Eroes. Quote:
I could see Madoka thinking that "Friendzoning" Homura here would actually be the kinder approach to take. Also, Madoka might not be able to tell that Homura's love for her is Eroes. Like yourself, Madoka may view Homura's actions as signs of Philia love, so saying "You're my best friend" is the best response possible to that.

Philia is just as valid as Eros in this context; love makes people irrational and passionate regardless of type. There are other cases of fiction where someone timeloops for ~100 years or whatever to save someone dear to them with no romantic element of any kind. Off the top of my head, Steins;Gate. Rebellion also makes Agape a possibility, even if a bit twisted. Quote:
Look, if we can't treat Madoka as being honest and sincere in her last conversation with like...ANYBODY pre-Rebellion, then we basically can't trust anything ever. That scene was supposed to be when Madoka and Homura finally reach an understanding. I'm going to flat-out reject anything or anyone insinuating otherwise.

I disagree with you on this, but I don't think you're stupid because of it. You and I just differ on how quickly strong Philia love can develop and/or how strong Philia love can get. To be fair, I could see a relatively "pure soul" like Madoka thinking that Philia can get very strong indeed. Madoka's own Philia love for Sayaka was rather strong, given how Madoka repeatedly wept for Sayaka and tried to save her in Episodes 7 and 8. But in Madoka's own mind, this was probably friendship love.

It's also an issue that people are associating Walpurgis Night with Time despite it displaying no powers of the type, but I won't delve too deeply about it here. |

It's not a theory I personally truck with either but it's not like it's a stretch.

No matter who started it, the idea is still that it is a collection of Witches, not a traditional Witch that can be identified from a single magical girl. |
