At several points, he momentarily forgets Kevin is an enemy, leading him to do stupid things, such as smiling and posing for an incriminating of him robbing the toy store. They also talk about doing stuff like going ice skating and visiting the zoo.

They try to hurt/kill Kevin because at that point, he had made it clear he wouldn't stand out of the way and the rivalry was personal at that point. Harry does give Kevin a chance to hand the camera and leave unharmed in the second film.

I don't see Harry and Marv listed anywhere under Faux Affably Evil in Tvtropes. Show me the link to the page on tvtropes where they are listed? And if you aren't Tvtropes, then why use the exact same term/trope from Tvtropes?

Affably Evil doesn't mean not willing to do evil things or Anti Villain, look at Hank Scorpio and Dr. Eggman, both do some very nasty things, but are also polite and courteous to regular people that do not interfere with their plans.

They weren't just worried about the attention, Harry and Marv both visibly worry for him, and the former gives Kevin traffic advice once they find out he was ok. Again, this was before their rivalry with Kevin became personal.

I wouldn't criminals aren't affable types. I'd say they aren't anti-villainous, but a burglar who robs houses with no remorse, yet is genuinely friendly to other people when not on burglar duty fits the Tvtropes definition of Affably Evil. He was hitting on that lady and the only reason he gave Kevin a chance was because he was afraid of going into the building and getting booby trapped. Again, don't see how any of them are genuinly friendly. And again WE ARE NOT TV TROPES.
