First and foremost, of course, Miles is her "little brother". She's very protective of him, in her own sort of way - she'll always be the one to show him the stark truth even if he doesn't want to see it. It's all for the best, really. 'ziska knows very well that Miles is perfectly capable of taking care of himself, but that doesn't alter the fact that she could do it better >:(
She's not heartwarming, but she does care a lot for her brother - he's probably the only person she loves, in the most basic definition of that. Franziska will look out for and protect Miles, even if he's his own worst enemy.
Franzy can get a little petulant around Miles, which is another clear indication of her odd sort of affection for him. When he one-ups her in an argument, she'll pout then whip him, instead of just resorting to violence immediately.
Underneath the sibling thing, however, are some very different emotions. Franziska's petulance around Miles stems also from jealousy - jealously over his position, over his command of her Papa's pride, his (comparative) ease when working with other people; she knows Miles is better than her in a lot of ways, and this irks her. She's the real von Karma after all. This jealousy also runs parallel to an odd sort of pride - her little brother is absolutely excellent, and she'll rip apart anyone who tries to mess with him (yes, that include Worthy himself. No self-destructive tendencies, little brother D<).
Back when she was much younger, Franziska also might have harbored a very slight fangirl-ish sorta crush on Miles - he was the only boy around for most of her childhood. This is likely where her odd half-affection for him stems (it is, of course, totally platonic at this point), though she'll never ever admit to it, even to herself.
...and for the record, should Franziska ever have to choose between her father and her brother, she'll of course side with Manfred, but that won't stop her from helping/agreeing with Miles on the side.
