Leon and Claire never really show they are romantically interested in each other. They're just friends.
I like to see things as they're shown in RETDC (in which you can actually understands what the characters feel, unlike RE2):
When Leon and Claire first meet Ada, Leon is attracted due to her courage, mystery and, of course, being very sexy. As a citizen, Leon has the obligation to protect her, and she becomes interested in him because he showed he really cared about her being safe (the people she works with don't really care about her, as long as she completes her missions). Claire understands Leon's "obcession" and becomes a little jealous, becoming a little enraged whenever Leon talked about Ada It's not because she likes Leon, but because she doesn't like Ada and she understands Ada is hiding something.
Leon and Ada eventually grow closer, and Ada saved Leon twice against the Tyrant (In the liquid metal pool and near the train), and he thinks she died eventually with the explosion, so he takes some years trying to overpass her death, even though she lied to him (eventually he heard of her involvement with Wesker and the Organization and realises she's alive).
When Leon sees Ada again in RE4, he doesn't love her anymore (either by having understood the truth or by having overpassed her death), so he's not much interested anymore, although, he can't help feeling "sympathy" with her. Ada, however, feels she couldn't have Leon because of her being a spy, but she still loves him.
In RED, Leon has completely overpassed Ada. I think he is into Angela, but we'll see.... Actualy, i didn't like Angela too much, but i don't like the RE4/RED Leon either (i only like him in RE2 and Operation Javier).
