Indeed, it's why I said with Roxas it works in a different way, he's not a PoH, thus his only effect is to modify slightly the state of Axel's heart wherever it is, and so allowing him to have emotions.
You're comparing a Nobody (albeit a special one, yet a Nobody all the same) to a PoH, whose definition is having a pure HEART. I think the logical dissonance it rather obvious here.
Also, it's been hinted that Axel's 'feelings' came from Roxas's general attitude of him wanting a Heart, him not liking being a Nobody, and the both of them clinging to the pretense of friendship so they can pretend.
It makes sense if you think about it, seeing what a great part of Sora's life his friendship with Riku was.
Roxas was imitating it and Axel was all too happy to tag along because it helped him pretend too.
There's nothing more to it than that, though.
Not to say, but it looks a little easy that way... He felt those emotions. Print whatever you want, it won't replace the true and yet, he really felt them as true, hinting to a never broking link between heart - body/soul IMO.
No, that's you disregarding and ignoring and contradicting base facts in the games.
If anything those things could've possibly been said about Roxas and Sora, but those two are hardly the general rule. They're not even qualified to being an exception, being too different.
Nobodies don't have emotions. It's as simple as that.
Because it is what others had convinced him of. Sometime you can be right, but if many people say you the contrary you'll think to be wrong. But millions of wrong wouldn't make one right.
Neither is you ignoring game facts. Nobobdies feel the lack of Heart, first and foremost, themselves.
Roxas didn't need Xemnas to come and tell him "you're a Nobody", he knew something was wrong before that and knew there was truth in Xemnas's words.
In KH1 it was explained quite clearly that Darkness are the incarnation of Evil, and yet in KH CoM and 2 you see another face of it...
Because Riku is the exception to prove the rule.
Riku has a Heart strong enough to wield a Keyblade; further more, he never turned into a Heartless.
Had Riku had a Nobody we could've discussed this further.
Seeing, however, that he cannot, put Riku aside under a league of his own.
They do plot twists; they don't alter definitions and rules of the game.
Also, CoM made pretty clear that the memories reside in the heart. Didn't nobody have memories?
Once the Hearts Lost those Memories when becoming a Heartless.
Heart turns into a Heartless = Memories move to Body.
I saw few time, but generally the dog bitted... Still I see what you mean Also, a baby whine, without reason except the pain, same for the dog... But Vexen whined because he was scarred. Same for Zexion. How scared would be not an emotion?
Fear is another one of the more basic instincts. You know on a very basic level something's bad for you and you want away from it. It's an extension of the survival instinct, or in a way - "one of" the survival instincts, making it part from the Heart.
Look at it this way, even - Heartless won't go and save themselves; Nobodies will, at least the higher level ones.
I don't know much, so I won't say, though I heard that most of this kind of things are linked to the psychologie, and sometime you 'heal' of those through pyschology.
Of course a mental trauma is inflicted and that needs to be cured as well.
However, the very basic phenomena of a phantom limb is when the nerve ends where the limb was cut aren't fried, or dead, or whatever. Thus, when someone who used that limb before sends a command on instinct, those nerves react, making for the illusion the command was received and thus, that the limb is still there.
