I agree that the elements were in place, but not fully executed. PTSD related to the captivity? Definitely. Even Complex PTSD when you add in her childhood trauma, but I'm not sold on a fully formed Stockholm Syndrome. I do think her feelings were complex, as I said above, I just don't see her going the extra step of being concerned for Leoben's welfare. I haven't seen the deleted scene, so I can't really comment on it.
I think one could make a case for SS in a more developed fic that adds the in-between scenes of their life together for those four months. I'm just saying that I don't see it in canon. And thank the gods for that. It would have been very hard to see. :(
