Well, in the original game, I think it was strongly hinted or stated that out of all the girls in the original game, Illya was the most important person to Emiya and her deaths affected him greatly. This lead to rumors that Emiya is from the Illya route, or a variation of it, which was suppose to split off from Sakura's route, probably at the point where Illya asked Shirou if he would give up his ideals for Sakura's sake but game never gave you a choice.
