Gordon and Evey in the original novel. He genuinely loves her and is charmingly awkward when he expresses it. It makes his eventual death even more tragic.
Gordon: The front bedroom, I'll be needing it soon. I've got some stuff coming in... Evey: You want me to go. Gordon: Go?? Jesus Christ, no! I don't want you to go! Evey: But where am I going to sleep? Gordon: Well...y'know...there's my room. Evey: ...Won't I get in the way? Gordon: Of course you won't. I'd have said something before, but...I didn't think you'd fancy the idea. Evey: Well, I do. I feel really stupid now. Gordon: Why? Evey: I don't know...will you give me a kiss? Gordon: Alright. (Cue passionate love-making)
In the movie's end, when everyone removes their masks and you see the faces of the people who who were killed, including Evey's parents, Gordon, the little girl... and Ruth and Valerie, all smiling in triumph.
V's rescue of Evey is definitely odd and scary, but he is still a consummate gentleman the entire time somehow, gently asking if she's alright and offering his hand to help her stand up. He really is a wonderfully contrasting character, that he can be so cold and violent, yet so warm and affectionate.
Of all V's victims, only one of the doctors at the camp shows remorse, being horrified at what she did, repentant, and haunted. She also makes her peace with the fact that he's coming for, as it's what she deserves, simply asking when she wakes up and finds him in her room - and revealing she knew he would come - if it will hurt. V reveals that he has already killed her, injecting with a poison that will kill her painlessly, precisely because she showed kindness and most of all, remorse. Unlike all the others, who face brutal and undignified deaths, she dies peacefully, with one of the roses she introduced him to.
"Is it meaningless to apologize?"
"Never."
Evey, having come to accept what V is trying to get across, muses that the letter from Valerie has lost some of its touching effect since she knows it's from him... V then leads her to a shrine he's built for Valerie, containing a poster of the movie she was in and her favorite breed of rose. He received that letter from the real Valerie years ago, and he never forgot it.
When you juxtapose this scene with Evey's opening soliloquy, it's even more poignant. Ideas are necessary for revolution, but people and people's hearts are necessary for it to win.
Evey: And it is not an idea that I miss, it is a man... A man that made me remember the Fifth of November. A man that I will never forget.
Even though he kidnapped her, V was nice enough to make Evey breakfast. Note the fact that the entire time they're together (not counting The Reveal scene with Valerie's letters), he treats her gently, politely, and is always honest with her, even though he knows what he's doing is terrifying.
And honestly, even after The Reveal, V is attentive to Evey during her completely justified and understandable breakdown and is still honest with her even after such a hideously awful thing he's done to her. And the fact that what he's done to her actually sticks and Evey becomes a stronger person who is brave enough to eventually send the train to blow up Parliament and break her city out of the abuse it's suffered at the hands of the corrupt government. It's truly sealed that he is somehow still a good man after she leaves and he collapses in his room, sobbing because of what he felt he had to do to her, but also just from knowing he will miss her and that there is a chance he will never see her again. It's equally beautiful and sad, but definitely heartwarming.
The soldiers refusing to fire on the masked mobs without any senior authorities telling them what to do.
"Bloody Hell, stand down, stand down!"
When his house is raided, Gordon's immediate instinct is to run and warn Evey — not hide or try to save himself, but to warn the fugitive he's housing.
Gordon in the film in general is great. He takes Evey in and hides her in his house with no hesitation, and even shows her his secret room, full of incriminating, forbidden artifacts — including evidence that he's gay, showing his complete trust in her. What a nice guy.
The ending of Valerie's letter:
I hope that whoever you are, you escape this place. I hope that the world turns and that things get better. But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you... I love you. With all my heart, I love you.
Followed by Evey tearfully kissing the letter.
Valerie's love affair with Ruth, as described in the letter. The two truly loved each other, to the point that Ruth being captured marked Valerie's Despair Event Horizon.
Evey and V dancing together the night before V's plan is kicked into action.
Evey kissing V goodbye.
V's last words, before he passes away in Evey's arms.
V: For 20 years, I sought only this day. Nothing else existed... until I saw you. Then everything changed. I fell in love with you, Evey. And to think I no longer believed I could. Evey: But I don't want you to die! V: That's the most beautiful thing you could have ever given me.
Evey giving V a Viking Funeral to end them all, putting his body in the traincar with all the explosives, surrounded by flowers. You know it's exactly how he would've wanted to be sent off.
