I tried to keep reminding everyone that these theories were just that: theories. They're just my own personal little ideas that I felt could lean toward CloudxYuffie if looked at in a certain way. I'm certainly not claiming that Cloud absolutely fell for Yuffie because things were not working out with Tifa. I only wanted to point out that it was possible that Cloud had, at some point, turned to Yuffie (even if it was just a one-night fit of angst-ridden passion) as a result of him pulling away from Tifa.
As for the materia thing, I still don't see why it's so impossible for the materia to actually belong to her. She's a materia-thief, as you pointed out. Isn't it likely that she has a nice collection of materia by now? And how did she know Cloud had a collection of materia anyway (because Tifa actually seemed rather surprised to see it in the church, so to me it seemed like she didn't know he had it)? The fact that she knew he had the materia proves that she had either been there to see it, or that it actually was hers (and she had left it there or, more likely, let him keep it/borrow it). Either theory supports the idea that she had been to see him at the church.
All I was trying to do was point out possibilities, seeing as how the couple has very little concrete evidence. To me, it's a rather strong possibility that she visited him at the church, because of the materia issue. As a fan of the pairing grasping at straws to provide ways for them to hook up, I took this theory and ran with it.
Oh, and me saying they're perfect for each other and only for each other is clearly my personal opinion as a devoted fan of the pairing. I have nothing against other Cloud pairings, but in my own opinion, he's perfect for Yuffie (and vice-versa). :D
