Canon
Throughout numerous episodes of the season, Homare displays an obvious crush on Harry, especially when Harry is in his human form. She tends to blush red when she’s around him.

In episode 32, after winning her comeback ice-skating competition, she looks into the Little Mermaid story for inspiration. As Etolie, she becomes involved in Bicine's VR Headgear Oshimaida, and is turned into a mermaid during the "Little Mermaid" simulation, which projects Harry's memories. However, instead of having a happy ending as she slowly falls for Harry more, she witnesses him running towards a girl covered in veil. With no help from Bicine, who breaks her even more, Homare falls into despair and is dragged into the ocean by another trio of mermaids, slowing turning into sea-foam also like in the story. However, with her friends' support, especially Cure Yell, who reminds her of her skating career, Etolie regains her courage and emerges from underwater to fight against Bicine, arguing that love is about respect. In the end, she manages to save Harry from the Oshimaida, but decides to keep her experience as a secret since she does not consider it to be righteous on knowing his secret love.

In episode 43, after knowing that Harry is going to return to the future, Homare is at a loss about their romantic relationship that is destined to be fruitless. She then gets her courage to confess to him and in return receives the expected reply, breaking down into tears as she returns to her friends. But she quickly recovers as she feels glad to be honest to herself and Harry which clears away her trouble, and is able to perform perfectly in her ice skating competition, earning her a gold medal with a beautiful quadruple jump.

Fanon
is a pretty popular ship. Just like NozoCoco, it involved a Pretty Cure and a fairy mascot, which can weird out some people. It's also overshadows what is supposed to be the main ship of Harry. Though it has its rivals ships like HomaSaya or other ships popular in the fandom like MasaHenri, its still quite popular and has multiple artworks of them together. The fact that there is fairy tales motif (here The Litle Mermaid) may also help for the popularity.
