And again, I think his seriously underdone emotional response was done on purpose to show his disconnection from society and people. (And in the game events, reality also.)
Yes, EXACTLY. I too believe it was intentional, and that's part of the reason why SH4 honestly worked for me as a game. Henry's detachment from the world increased the claustrophobia of being stuck in a hostile apartment for me, not to mention that he talks so little to the other characters. Not only was he stuck to the apartment, but to his own mind and body due to lack of social skills. That made the game really effective for me.
