Agreed an insane amount. In fact, I think his calm attitude abotu Harry's death in Aftermath was a massive act. Marcone is bound to Chicago and Harry was a large part of Chicago's safety. He handled things Marcone couldn't. I think Marcone was, under his mask, very... disappointed in Harry's death.
And I know he must've set out to hunt down whoever killed Harry to get revenge. He'd claim it was about territory, but...
Disappointment, precisely; there was the loss itself, the danger to the city, but I think there would be a sort of personal bitterness about his death, because it would serve as a sort of proof to Marcone, it didn't work. His way of life didn't work. What he believed in got him killed... the good in the world he believed in and fought for betrayed him.
Harry's way of dealing with things is so completely different from Marcone's- I mean, he doesn't compromise. Or tries really hard not to, and for most part he gets away with it. And Marcone, watching him, must have felt a sort of wonder, this man is actually fighting evil in ways that I can't manage, and he gets away with minimal sacrifices. It actually works. And it must have given him a sense of optimism, and perhaps fascination. And I think he must have been let down, personally, when it didn't go right for Harry, who had been becoming this very private mascot.
