It's hard to think of Dante with anyone canon, because with every game there's nearly been a different female lead [with the acception of DMC4 where Trish and Lady came back] For me, I see Dante eventually ending up with Trish in this version, but I wouldn't say know to him getting close to Kat, even if she ended up dying or they never really hooked up. Even that, if Lady reminded him of Kat and that was something that being a reason for wanting to help her out even if she hated him for not being human or thinking he killed innocent people [remember, his name never got cleared.]
It would definitely be something I'd like to see. From Dante being around someone that did want to be his teamate, to someone like Lady who would tried to kill him and refuse his help. It would be interesting chemistry.
Now that I think about it, if ever DmC2 comes out, there is the possibility that Kat will be replaced by another female lead. And maybe this hypotetical girl would not be neither a reeboted Lady, nor a rebooted Trish, nor a rebooted Lucia...:|
As for him getting with Kat, it is a strong possibility
*chokes while having to admit this*.
But it is also possible that they simply develop a very close friendship, or a brother-sister relationship. As you (if I remember correctly... or was it Loopy? Sorry, my memory fails me sometimes
) already said in another thread, it is not a necessary rule that the protagonist and the female lead will get romantically involved in the end.
And now you suggested me the amazing idea of Dante meeting a rebooted Lady who wants to take vengeance on him, because she deems him responsible for killing her mother. In truth, it was Arkham (who may be a full demon this time) who killed Kalina Ann, but since he worked with Barbas, it was easy for him to shift the blame on Dante...
Dante and Lady fight, and then, when she realizes the truth, like the most clichè romences, they fall in love.... or if you don't want them to fall in love, they remain friends...
Now that I think about it, though, maybe Dante simply isn't one for getting into a stable relationship...
