Ennis said Tat realized it, so while you can argue that Tat is mistaken, that doesn't mean Ennis is wrong in recognizing Tat's current view.

I feel like Leohan is saying that he disagrees with the implication of Ennis's statement (the word realised implying that the current belief is the true or correct one). Like, you would say "I realized that 1+1=2" but probably not "I realized that 1+1=4"

...Unless you still believed that 1+1=4.

EDIT: The "you" being impersonal, of course.

What Theia said. Realizing or figuring something out implies objective truth.

No one is stopping you from shipping them both.

Getting back on topic a little, I think Lil'E's opinion of himself is definitely affected by everything he's found out about the pre-Lethe him. He has a (drawn) picture of him killing angels, which he's now been shown to love. Then other things showing him being an arsehole, and then being yelled at when he went on that forum. Pretty much everything he's come across points to him being a terrible person, even if he doesn't remember it. In fact it's worse because he has to somehow reconcile the fact that present-Lily finds these things atrocious, but past-Lil'E revelled in them. Imagine waking up tomorrow with hardly any knowledge about yourself and then finding out you, I don't know, tortured people for fun. You'd be wondering how you became that way, and would probably expect that those who knew what you did to treat you accordingly, even though it would hurt present-innocent-you. Maybe that's another reason Lily doesn't think that Pebbles "counts" is that she isn't properly aware of all that stuff. She actually had to ask if being a devil-worshipper was bad.

Also I feel really stupid, I only just realised Pebbles was called Pebbles by 'Nique is because she looks sort of like a grown-up version of Pebbles from the Flintstones.
