Henry is pretty much Heather's weird adopted big brother, which is a big first for her.
Not that she hasn't had big brother figures before-- she has, quite a few of them. But Henry is the first 'sibling' who was also mutually adopted by her PARENT, so he's the closest thing she's had to a 'real' brother ever in that her dad pretty much treats him like a grown-up son. They share the same space, they squabble and tease each other (most of the teasing goes on on Heather's end though, admittedly), they tattle on each other, and even sometimes help each other hide things from 'Dad'.
Which is all honestly really exciting to Heather. She grew up with no close family figures in her life outside of her father-- they were very much alone and while she was always okay with that (it was one of the reasons she wound up so close to him) it was a pretty lonely existence for a kid, especially an active and curious one like her. So having another 'member' of the family is like, WHOA. HEY LOOK IT'S WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED AS A KID.
But as with anything in Silent Hill, there's a little more to it than just the adoption factor, and that's knowing that, in all likelihood, Henry is the next victim on the chopping block intended as a sacrifice to summon God in one way or another, and therefore the next person to have to kill it to save the world. This knowledge is COMPLETELY NEW INFORMATION to both Harry and Heather, and it's pretty chilling to know that it's not just them who have had to do this. It means that it's not only NOT impossible for God to return and end the world (again), but that it's pretty much guaranteed to keep on happening as long as the cult exists. And especially since Henry hasn't DONE it yet, it makes them pretty protective of him. In that light, they're the experienced veterans and he's the scared kid who's about to go through the same thing they did, so Heather and Harry both sort of feel like they need to teach him and encourage him as much as possible, both for his sake and for the world's.
SO YEP.
And uh, Pokemon. GHOSTS, MOSTLY. She really hates Ghost Pokemon and doesn't get along with them in any capacity most of the time. She hates her Gengar and he hates her. She also dislikes Jigglypuffs, she thinks they're creepy.
As for Pokemon species she really adores, she is pretty much in love with her Joltik. She thinks they're adorable and perfect and abubububu.
