"Interesting, too, the idea that maybe Lee gave in to the cylons because they gave him Kara back."
I don't think that was what he meant. I think he loved Kara (and Zac) so much, it was impossible for him not to see them as individuals even if they turned out to be cylons. His love for them would make him realize he would accept them no matter what. He always forgave them their flaws (he could never say no to her, right?) and being a cylon wouldn't change that.
I do think he was confronted with that possibilty for the first time and that played a part in his coming to accept cylons as more than simply machines. Truth be told, he (and most humans for that matter) never had any real contact with cylons except for fighting them. The few ones that were discovered hiding in the fleet did nothing to dispell the distrust towards cylons, quite the opposite , in fact. And we know, Lee found it very hard to trust Sharon. The possibility that Kara was a cylon really made him think about it.
