Hm, I remember this:

Sokolov also mentions personal knowledge he has of Jessamine, telling Corvo she was "a strange one. Stranger, I think, than you know."

Personally I always took their relationship as teacher/student... or mentor/pupil as Jessamine was wont to think outside many conventional restrictions and set her own path - the same as Sokolov appeared.

I also think he somehow sensed how special she (Jessamine) was and that the Outsider, while not favoring her with his Mark, did seem to consider her important. So much so that he offers Corvo her heart to 'guide' him throughout his travails.

Of course, the latter is just conjecture on my part.
