It certainly did for Thomas and Justine, and how it protected Harry from Lara. To say they don't have real love yet doesn't sound right. Pounder nearly pounded Connie's Dad to death because he was hurting her. Certainly a more obvious sign of love than what Inari and Bobby had going for them.

That's a good point.  I wonder if him not being fully human means he does not get loves full protection.

Wasn't willingness to self-sacrifice for the other part of it? I haven't read BR in a while, but I think Bobby blocked Inari from getting shot.

Snark-Knight has it: it was the element of mutual Self-Sacrifice with Thomas and Justine (her willing to die for him, him willing to deny himself and die for her).  They'd been together fairly often in all the many years living up to that night, with no issues, and Id wager that their Love had been growing for most of that. 

Bloody hell, another WOJ I cant actually find now that I need it....

  Could be that because she never killed (and thus her Hunger has never learned to kill) that love has no need to protect Irwin from her.  The Hunger took all it could, and its prey was back up the next day ready for more.  That's gotta change your perspective.  We've never seen anything like this before or since, so it may well be a unique case.
