What an insightful comment OP. Clearly, we are blessed to have witnessed such a fine analytic mind.

1st commenter: but what do you believe Index is in contrast to? For example, Accelerator is a contrast to Touma because he has so much power, but is not used to using it to help others, whereas Touma has very little power, yet is willing to fight impossible odds to save others (and Hamazura is a bit of a mix (accelerator's devotion to saving 1 person, but w/ Touma's underdog/helpful nature)). Is Index's immaturity in comparison to someone else's maturity? (there are very few mature love interests around Touma since most of them are younger than he is) (no wonder the guy's type is a dorm manager onee-san, when he's surrounded by psychotic younger girls). I also don't think she's unaware of the suffering Touma goes through, since she's always extremely concerned whenever he ends up in the hospital, and constantly tries to shield him from the world of magic and to help him fight magicians. I think it's closer to the fact that she has too few life experiences to know how to convey the idea 'I care about you, and I don't want you to get hurt, and it pains me to see you risk yourself all the time'. Furthermore, as evidenced by her conversation with Hyouka (after quarreling with Touma), they fight and bicker because they are at ease with one another and trust each other to stay with them through thick and thin.
