What I find rather interesting about Hoenheim is that he still strangely has a sense of love for his family. While he doesn't get an excuse for abandoning Ed & Al in their youth, he still clearly shows an amount of regret for not being there & has some kind of desire to connect with Ed. Particularly when he is watching Ed sleep, he shows a conflict of whether or not he should pat him while he sleeps, but also holds back in some kind of sense of guilt. Also his "warning" to Pinako about what's to come in the country and that he does want them to leave. He certainly is still a terrible father & is still pulling strings in the background, but he still has some kind of humanity that even his ageless body has not forgotten.
As a side note, I couldn't help but notice how Hoenheim doesn't bring up the idea of the Transmutation of his wife until he hears the dog in the hallway give Ed's presence away. I would like to think that was his strange way of telling Ed to look deeper into his failed Transmutation & attempt to learn from it; since Ed certainly would have brushed him off if Hoenheim told him directly. But if it was conveyed like Ed learned a secret that he wasn't supposed to know, then Ed would definitely take another look to find out if there is another way to recover Al's body.

I think narratively it's much more satisfying that he has that dimension to him as opposed to him just being straight up evil, and I think you really hit the nail on the head here. That being said, I still can't stand him as a human being even if I think he's a good character lmao
Good point about the dog giving Ed's presence away too, the conversation really changes tone at that point, even if Ed didn't notice

The grabbing and stump aching, I feel is more of a lie, partially atleast. Hiding a panic attack of sorts.

Yeah, it could be! I'll pay attention to that next time it happens
