In the DCAU comics, sure, but in current comics, nah. I think the only person the Joker has any kind of bond with is Batman. Joker sees Harley like a toy; something to play with, something he doesn't want to share, something that can be abused & disposed of. But also like a loyal puppy that forgives a stray kick in the side from an abusive owner.
The Joker is a sociopath. Sociopaths are quoted as having glibness & superficial charm, manipulative & conning, grandiose scene of self, pathological lying, lack of remorse/shame/guilt, shallow emotions, incapacity for love, need for stimulation (Batman), lack of empathy, poor behavioral controls/impulsive nature, irresponsibility/unreliability, promiscuous sexuality (possibly gay) & infidelity, lack of realistic life plan/parasitic lifestyle (using other people), & Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility.
Just want to point out a plothole in GCS: Joker killed her Hyenas years ago in "A Clown At Midnight."
