Objects of lust for a MC who are no more than side interest fucktoys don't become part of harems, only love interests do. Both Dallas and Octavia are love interests for the MC because, whilst his main love is Avalon, he also has affection for them and it's reciprocated, and Avalon even encourages it. The fact that Penny was to be on the harem path heavily implies she too was to become a love interest and the fact that she shows so much care for the MC and those around him, and the 2 of them were clearly bonding very deeply, would seem to confirm that it was headed this way until Lockheart made the decision to not do that in order to keep her free for her own adventure.Concerning Leah I think the post copied from a Patreon post is very clear that she is NOT and was never intended to be either a LI or lust interest but only a side story to replace Penny so Penny could have a game focused on her which may or may not include Leah. We have two more updates to possibly clear that up.
Leah being brought in to replace Penny's role as part of the harem path, as Lockheart laid out in that post, is also a confirmation that Leah was meant to be part of that harem path because that's the gap she was brought in to fill in Penny's absence.
Of course she captured enough interest. She's hot and it's incest; 2 ingredients that go down very well with adult VN audiences.However, Leah captured enough interest that Lockheart is giving us a bonus update devoted to her.
