You know, I agree with you that the chances of using Nunnally against Lelouch are very high. I always thought she would be the ideal hostage, and I'm kind of surprised about how much Lelouch is playing his Zero role, considering he believes the Emperor has his sister. I don't know where the authors are heading with Nunnally, and what is her relationship to Rollo, but like you, I hope Nunnally will show more character traits than she has so far because she has a very important role in Geass.
I do believe that, in fact, Lelouch has grown even more protective of Nunnally as she grew older because Nunnally plays their co-dependency card so well. I do believe that Lelouch also became even more selfless about his own personal needs as he grew up. And yes, he does treat her as a child and he behaves like a single parent rather than a brother around her. I think it is important to remember that Lelouch projects a lot of himself on Nunnally - he protects himself through her, builds the world of his dreams through her, hates Charles through her and even started liking Suzaku through her. Nunnally has become - a long time ago - Lelouch's point of reference for most things, and it will be interesting to find out how he fares without her.
I'm not sure how much Suzaku has changed, but he was able to send Lelouch to Charles, knowing very well how that would affect Nunnally. I do think he would be able to let her be used for everybody's well being and ultimately what he perceives as her own possible happiness. Then again, Suzaku might be fooling us all and plotting to murder Charles when he turns his massive back on him. The boy is being remarkably mysterious this season. XD
